Good travel experience on United
I've recounted a fair number of negative travel experiences in my life so I thought it was time to share a good one.
I flew US Airways to Barcelona via Philadelphia this week and on the way back US Airways got us into Philadelphia a half hour early. When I checked the departure board I realized that I could either wait around for 3 hours for my scheduled flight to Denver or I could go see if I could talk United into giving me a seat on their next flight in 45 minutes. The United rep was extremely friendly inspite of dealing with the usual mad preboarding rush. She called over to US Airways for me (to ask them to release my ticket) and not only did they give me a seat on their flight (on an overbooked flight!) but I got the only middle seat on the airplane that only had one seat next to it. (The emergency row on the Airbus 360 -361?- has only an aisle and a middle seat with no window seat.)
Thanks, United!
