I need to get 3,000 PQPs between now and Nov 30 to re-qualify for United 1K. Anyone have any great ideas how to do this - or know of any domestic flights that maximize the PQPs?

Why Nov 30 and not Dec 31?

It’s offered to all United elites - the promo is called “fly to the finish.” After my thanksgiving flight, I’m making it by $19. You can take the consultant out of consulting but you can’t take a consultant away from status. Lol

funny

Do a status match/challenge to Delta so you can treat yourself to flying with a better airline.

D1 one big difference between DL and UA domestically is that UA deploys widebodies on many more routes, especially on hub to hub, whereas DL mostly uses them internationally, on transcons, and occasional positioning flights. If you’re mostly flying in J, I can see why that’s preferable. A lie flat is nearly always preferable to a recliner, and Delta One on the old 763s is pretty dated.

The newer Delta One products are awesome, though: the suites have a ton of room and the seats are wide with memory foam cushions.

If you’re in Y a decent amount of the time though, I’d take any DL plane over a UA widebody with ten abreast on the 77 or the narrow seats on the 78.

Me too!! Lol. Best you can do is fly United first internationally... I’m flying Turkish Biz but the code doesn’t start with “016” so they’re screwing me over

Yeah, expired passport, so….

No shortcuts to PQP so… I’d give up

Give up so the rest of us get better upgrades!

PQPs are earned by spending money... Pretty straightforward: spend $3k

I think I’m set: I just booked a trip to FL, a trip to CA, and a trip to OR - all before Thanksgiving. If I close my eyes and squint, it looks like 2019.

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?
