Firstly, i cannot congratulate BMI enough on their outstanding flights across the Atlantic from Manchester. Absolutely fantastic.
Anyway, i paid 444pounds for a flight MAN-MCO back in January. I travelled on BMI and connected onto United at IAD. I was booked on UA921 IAD-MCO, but when i heard the plane was full, i volunteered to go on the later 977. In return, UA gave me $400 travel vouchers. With this i am now making a trip on the 23rd MCO-ORD-LGA-IAD-MCO, for free. I have only used $200 of my travel vouchers as the flights only cost $160.
Is it any wonder United are losing so much money? After taxes, they have only gotten $30 for each flight, which they paid for anyway.
THis is the killer though- i am actually earning miles on these flights too, not that i am complaning.
Anyone else flying on the 23rd to these airports.
Regards
