Is United Silver premier worth it? I never have enough spend to be anything above basic but I did a few trips this year and I am 875 PQP and 2 PQF short to silver premier. I have a lot of what ifs in terms of travel next year but thought it would be good to get. I may do a quick trip to lax or phx next month to get me there that will cost about $900-$1100. Ideally I would have liked to visit a friend for a weekend but everyone else is traveling. Thoughts?I’m based near EWR

I’m on this United flight which is sitting duck at EWR because of the rains. The flight attendant tells me I can’t use my laptop while we are just sitting on the runway with no signs of movement and the captain already said they will announce when they hear more .

Is this some protocol ? Or is this guy just being an idiot?In my years of flying this has never happened especially when the delay is indefinite.

just another complaint about EWR: Terminal B international gates specifically.

The way the walkway goes around the whole outside of the sub-terminal meant that half my flight boarded, and then the gate had to be closed so a different flight could disembark, walking between us and the plane. 20 minutes later we could finish boarding.

Who designed this? Who scheduled it? Didn't seem like there were any delays at the time, everything was functioning "as intended".
