United is the worst. Are they all this bad or should I switch? Paid 2x fare to use global certs only to find out they ran an "up fare" and yokels got all the bus first seats to Europe. I'm screwed.

I don't get how you paid 2x fare to use them, you can use on any paid fare. And yeah, it doesn't guarantee you an upgrade. Most airlines are like this. You'll get the GPU back at least

United makes you buy a W fare or higher to apply global upgrade for international. (I had to buy a V fare). $1,650 each for economy. Looked at flights today - I could go for $900 same itinerary. Shoot me.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

My fiancé’s family has a vacation planned at the end of June in Florida (small beach town about 45 mins from PCB). We’d be flying from California if we decide to attend.

I want to go for sanity reasons, but feel like it seems foolish too. What would y’all do? Just wait and see?
