Amazing Business Class Availability Between The US And Australia!

Just booked 2 seats for after Tisha B’av !!

i just got a chase continental onepass. what are my claims to get the bonus upped to 50k?

Which dates are you finding a lot? Im seeing a day here and there which is what I always see…

Still prefer to fly via Europe and Asia then on UA 😛

@ted:
Enjoy!@

chani:
Secure message them that you saw a better offer for 50K.

@Steve:
Are you joking? There are entire months with business class saver awards on almost every single day.

@aussie:
I hear ya!

what will happen to our co cards after march 1st?
will we earn miles on united? or earn nothng?

Are there options if I want to stop in Aisa or new Zealand?

@co card:
You will earn United miles.

@mia:
Sure.

it is difficult finding premium saver awards between Aukland and Melbourne with Air new Zealand.

But this is great deal as the premium awards on United are usually impossible to get before 2-3 weeks out.

just booked 2 tkts, thanks dan !
could only get from the west coast, but i live in NY, anyway to add in that segment without using more miles ?

Does United MilagePlus Miles just expire for closing a credit card?

Hey Dan,

How long does it take to transfer points from chase(united,continental,sapphire and ink bold)?

I wanna fly peasach to Israel ..were should i trasfer it ? what is the best airline to travel with ?

Thank you

Being that you can do a stopover on continental, can you do a stopover in Israel on a roundtrip to australia?

how do i get 30K bonus points on chase freedom by sending chase a secure message if i only received 20K?

thanks

@gswannabe:
Sure, give them a call withni 24 hours.

@Moshe E:
No.

@Levi:
Instant. Transfer to Continental/United for Star Alliance travel.

@ARS:
The problem is that there is no good routing from Israel to Australia.

@DAN:
What’s wrong with tlv-ist-hkg-syd?

@ARS:
You will be extremely hard pressed to find any agent willing to route you US-Middle East-Europe-Asia-Australia unless you plan on using an RTW award.

got nyc-sfo added to the ticket with a stop in cleveland, but waitlisted for the jfk sfo direct flight

@gswannabe:
You can always stop by for dinner if your W/L doesn’t clear 😉

Date changes are free on CO/UA? Hmm…I am Gold Elite and I thought I have always had to pay for date changes on award tickets.

@Mark:
If you change to a flight that departs within 21 days then you pay a fee, but otherwise they are free.
Some reps don’t know this and you need to ask for a manager.

United is NOT as good as Qanatas or Air New Zealand.

@Jason:
Of course not, but good luck finding business or first class awards on Qantas! Or on Air New Zealand more than 60 days out.

Can we get some samples thru Asia or Europe to syd

appreciate the offer 😉

I have the same interest as Mia. Am interested in a one way retrn continuous flight in May from Bali to Australia to New Zealand and then onto San Francisco. Would greatly appreciate any advice.

@mia:
EWR-CDG-BKK-SYD or EWR-HNL-AKL-SYD, or EWR-LAX-BKK-SYD, etc…

@Michael:
So call them to book. Best to know in advance which dates are available.

Dan, Awesome as always! thanks. Just to be sure i understand this is on united? in biz.?

@mia:
Correct.

Sorry, Dan – but I just saw this now and checked it out and can hardly find anything available, am I doing something wrong or is this sold out already?

Sholom – it is gone as of today. I saw it yesterday to upgrade my booked trip into Biz. The dates I was looking for didn’t work out, otherwise I’d jump in on the deal in a heartbeat. If you’re looking today, though, it’s gone…

So how does this CO/United thing work?

I have opened both credit cards. My United account had 30K in it and then I requested an additional 20, which they said they were going to give me. My “year to date” miles now reads 20K. What happened to my original 30K miles?

My continental account reads as follows
Double Miles earned from Continental & United 0
Miles earned from other purchases 28
Total Miles earned this statement 28
Total Miles transferred to Continental 28

I did request an increase on this account as well and was told that I was going to get get 50K total for this particular account. Not sure why I have nothing so far.
Maybe it takes some time to post.

Do I need to withdraw these miles and deposit them in another account? Thanks

how would i go about getting this with amex MR points? if at all possible? i want to buy this ticket for someone else?

@chanie:
Lol…year to date miles is not what you’re looking for.
For your sake I would just call up United to find out your total award balance.

hoe do i get the 50k from united? and can i do it even if i got 50k from continental a year ago?

Opened both the Continental, and United Cards. BEWARE: Dan does NOT tell you the term in the agreement. It reads, “United MileagePlus Explorer cardmembers will only receive one 25,000 bonus miles award if they apply for both the United Explorer Card and the Continental OnePass Plus Card after 7/19/2011.”

@Jack:
Terms say a lot of things… I’ve opened both of those cards since then and got 50K on both.

@Dan:
I just got off the phone with United and they stated I will only get 25,000 miles for both cards. Please tell me how I can get 50K each?

Did you spend $1 and wait for your statements to close yet?

@Dan: @Dan
No I did not. I just opened the cards. Once I wait the 6-8 weeks and spend $1.00, then what?
