United Airlines has rolled out paperless boarding pass availability at a number of airports (see this week’s story), just a week after American announced a big expansion of the same service. Have you tried checking in with an electronic boarding pass on your mobile phone or PDA yet? If so, did everything work smoothly? If not, are you reluctant to use the technology for fear something will go wrong at check-in? Post your comments here.

American Express, in it's latest email vacation offerings, had a classification of All-Inclusive and hawked it with the terms of a perfect vacation for less. If their idea of perfect is a listing of three and a half star facilities, I am with the wrong company for vacation ideas.

A new consumer survey found that most of those polled want overhead bin space to be assigned just like seats are, as an increase in carry-ons creates new competition for storage space (see this week’s story). Do you agree that bin space should be assigned? Have you had trouble finding a place for your carry-ons? Do you use whatever empty space you can find, or do you try to limit yourself to the bin right above your seat? Do you think airlines might start charging a fee for carry-ons? Post your comments here.

RE: Should overhead bin space be assigned?

This is apparently one of the most heated topics you've discussed in a long time! You've really struck a nerve here. I hope you'll take the extra space to post lots of these comments since this is something your readers REALLY want to talk about!!
I believe the current system works just fine. The first people on board are "first class". The overhead space in that cabin needs to be reserved for them, and they can use "last class" as overflow until the FF people board. Next are "Elite" frequent fliers. They get their choice of space. Then the "general boarding" population. If there isn't space for them, then their bags should be "gate-checked" to plane-side (NOT baggage claim) upon landing. The problem of limited overhead space would be significantly alleviated if people were REQUIRED to put items that fit under the seat in that location. I find that short people who can't even use their foot space put purses, etc., in the overhead. Similar story with coats. Ask people to put coats and small miscellaneous article in the overheads LAST. There's always space. The idea of "charging" for overhead space on board is not practical. It would extend boarding time significantly and result in far more passenger dissatisfaction than the overhead storage issue. Two "crazy ideas" to fix this: (1) Tradable Vouchers (a la "cap and trade") - everyone gets a voucher when they check in for X linear inches of overhead space. They can be traded, sold, etc. I would gladly pay another passenger for the extra space I need. (And I have "free drink" coupons to spare, since my carrier sends these to frequent fliers.) (2) What about adding a storage space (with shelves) and/or a coat closet for overflow? This exists in first class but is underused and is "crew discretion" only. I see that space as largely wasted.

"I work with Global Resorts Network. They developed a lifetime timeshare membership.Overseas this product is marketed for roughly 7-10k in your typical hotel room meetings etc. The product allows the customer to stay at 4 and some 5 * resorts GCR offers for roughly 70-80% less than what you pay on the open market say expedia or priceline. The cost of a week stay is always 299-699. There are no maintenance fees. Just a one time membership purchase of 2995. This is the PERFECT alternative for people who do not want to spend 10-30k+ for a regular one week timeshare. It is a perfect down sell. Global Resorts network is not an MLM it is a direct sales company with a perpetual leverage pay plan that does reward referral business. Only 2 people get paid on each sale. The membership goes for 2995 and attached to it are two $1000 commissions paid out. Hhere are the options for us. 1. You can decide to join the business and just market this yourself with your own user id. There is no requirement to actually purchase the product yourself. There is though a $100 a year distributor fee that gives you your back office to keep track of sales and a few websites. (there are other marketing tools others do use to make sales which costs vary) Without buying the package you would have to pass up or refer your first two sales to get qualified. After that you would make a $1000 profit on each membership you sold. Plus you would make $1000 on each product sold by any referral business of your customers. Learn more about the payplan at www.payplan.us 2. We can work in a partnership where you market the product to your preexisting customer base or ways that your experiencce dictate to market it. You would close the sale and have them sign up on my website to buy it and we would split the commission 50-50. You would make 500 per sale for any direct customers.
If you would like more info you can go to www.sayyestogrn.com Chris 877-776-7503" Sir we are looking for partners for our Timeshare company.Kindly contact us at 9821167976 or 9619807976 or revert this mail if intrested.We are into selling of Timeshare properties worldwide and are also looking for partners for joint venture worldwide.

to make room for the stretch rows. today I flew Frontier and did not have the stretch row. In a regular row, my legs didn't seem to fit, I'm 6 ft 3, the lady in front of me kept slamming her seat back into my kness trying to recline, which didn't fit. She was having a complete fit about it. The flight attendant finally moved me to another row after she made a big deal of it claiming I was causing trouble. If Frontier did shorten their regular seat rows, I will never fly them again, as that was the reason I used to use them, they had more legroom on regular seats. It's time for a tall guy bill of rights on flights!

I doubt the overhead space is enough for 1 carry-on per seated pasenger (evenof legal size). Therefore assigning space will be another challenge for the overworked flying attendants that do magic trying to help everyone. Yes it would be fair to divide the space equally per seat. Passengers are forced to carry-on because: a) They already have expereinced suitcases get delayed and lost. b) The fees per bag, business are instructing their travellers to carry-on. (c) Business travel requires to carry at least a computer, phone, files and chargers. business travellers can not afford to have them delayed or lost. (furthermore due to security computers and batteries must be carried on) d) If you are wise, add at least 1 change of shirt and underwear (for the 50/50 chance that your documented suitcase will not make it on time. e) Some toiletries and medications, some entertainment gadget (IPod, portable game etc) Suddenly the carry-on can not be anymore "just a back pack", specially when many times the "legal connection time" means running across the airport to your next gate, very often to find that they just changed back to the opposite side. Plus winter gear usually does not fit under the seat, specially the aisle seat. And even if you are frugal suddenly you find yourself boarding one of the "regional planes" designed for dozen people loaded with 50. True there are abusive passengers that carry more than is allowed and occupy any space available overhead and rarely anything under the seat. Yet, business travel is a survivor event, when sometimes your employment hangs from. I do feel sorry for those few ocassional first time travellers not prepared for the darwinian event, specially elderly people and parents with young children. The only thing we can do is try each one of us to be better.

This week, we’d like to know about your experience with complaints to airlines. Have you ever filed a complaint about bad service or mistreatment and managed to get some kind of satisfaction from the airline? If so, what was your problem, how did you complain, and what did the airline do for you? (Or if you complained and got no response or unsatisfactory recompense, tell us about that, too.) Post your comments here.

Post your comments here." Lufthansa I was booked on a flight from Munich to London City , the desk advised that we where to be dropped at Heathrow. No apology was made or even acknowled. I asked how we where supposed to get from Heathrow to London City. No one knew or cared. I have complained three times ,no answer. No wonder the cheap airlines are doing well ,they may not be the most polished but they deliver on time to the right place. Still waiting to find out how I really complain to Lutfhansa.

As airlines look for ways to cope with skyrocketing fuel bills, some bloggers and letter-writers are suggesting a radical idea: airline passengers should pay the pound, with weight-based fares or surcharges (see this week’s story). Our question this week: Should passengers be charged for air travel based on their weight, like cargo is? Would that be logical? Would it be fair? Post your comments here.

I was wondering how many of you travel to LAS for business and also recieve comps? I recently went to Las Vegas for 3 nights and ended up a penthouse suite for the last 2 nights thanks to my membership in the MGM players club.
I usually travel to Las Vegas about 6 times a year (roughly 4-5 for business and 1 personal trip). I had never played the tables while on business in the past but it seems to be very rewarding if you know how to manipulate the comps/ VIP services at your hotel.
Does anyone have a similiar experience? If you have some best practices they would be greatly appreciated! (being new to the comp game any expert advise/stories would be fun to see!)

The new soon to be instated policy of co-payment for upgrade has indeed rendered mileage plus useless.
As many business traveler, my employer is not willing to pay for additional upgrade fees separated from the ticket fee. UA is certainly not providing suc stellar business or first services that it woudl be worth spending much of my personal money.
As a Global Service / 1K customer I have notified UA that the day they put that policy into effect I will not use United Airlines ever again. I encourage all UA customers to send similar notices... May be they'll reconsider the implications of their miguided plans...

"I just found about this as I tried to book a flight from Denver to Shanghai for a business trip. On past trips overseas, I paid miles to upgrade (without status, getting the upgrade was dicey). But I finally hit Premier Executive status for this year as a result of all the travel I did last year. So imagine my surprise when I go to book the trip and am told I'll need to fork over another $500 each way (plus 25k miles) to get the upgrade that only 3 months ago I had merely to pay 30k miles each way for. You might say "So what? get your company to pay for the upgrade fee". Well, my company just revised its travel policy and now unless you are a VP (not me), you have to book the lowest available fare and fees for upgrades are not reimbursable. I'm 6'6", and even in economy plus, my knees brish the seat in front of me; and forget about working on the plane -- if the person in front of me reclines even a little, my laptop screen cannot open wide enough for me to see it. This is how United treats someone who flew 50k miles with them last year and who has racked up hundreds of thousands of flight miles with United in his lifetime?" Everyone needs to complain directly to United if we are going to change this. I will not fly United again (after already booked trips) until this policy is reversed. I sent in my complaint today.
