United MileagePlus X app: Earn 3X more miles
I downloaded the United MileagePlus X app last year but never really used it since it was all the way on the second page of my phone screen. I’m not a big shopper and prefer to buy things online, where I make use of shopping portals to earn extra miles […]

Air New Zealand lounge + United 747 first class: Sydney – San Francisco
Our return flight to San Francisco was in the early evening. After saying goodbye to the large extended family I’d met for the first time and grown close with, we were off to the airport. As we were leaving, my aunt tried to convince us to stay a bit longer […]

Review: United Club Lounge + United Global First 747 Honolulu
With a surprisingly speedy ride to the airport, I had an hour and a half to spare before my flight. After having a minor issue at check-in that took unreasonably long to resolve because I couldn’t flag down a United agent to resolve it, I headed to security. The security […]
United 777 first class: San Francisco – Honolulu review
On the day of departure, I was running pretty late for the airport. I had intended to take BART to the airport, but my sister instructed my brother to drop me off directly at SFO (something about trains being less than safe), and my brother would not budge. We came […]

Bizarre phone conversation with a United manager
I just had the most bizarre phone conversation with a United “manager” named Sheila from Houston. She had the sass of a drag queen and the petulance of a hormonal teenager. This was in regards to a flight I booked for my dad to attend a funeral in London. Since […]
