Thanks for the info + video!

[@jonathanfactor6688]

Great video thanks I have over 5000 miles on united airlines so I updated my united airlines explorer card to the united airlines quest card 😊

[@lamcreativesolutions]

Very helpful podcast. Started traveling a lot for work a couple years ago, and got on the United bandwagon (I'm in Denver, so it made sense). Some great tips here.

[@SnareMan]

Appreciate the video and podcast. I have been a long time dedicated united flyer, but they are pretty much worthless to fly these days because of their costs are 50 to 100% more than other airlines. Miles awards tickets are also similarly outrageously priced compared to what they once were

[@enzosf]

Wow I was just starting to transfer away to the awards I can transfer (Chase Saph / Ink) from years and years of hoarding MileagePlus. Thanks for breaking it down.

Planning Australia for next year. Would love a full episode.

[@JenniferDunbar-dr5vj]

nice to put faces to names. Great overview of United!

[@joanreilly6419]

How did you get to Australia for 80000?

[@JenniferDunbar-dr5vj]

can you get into the United lounge if you're flying a partner airline like Aer Lingus or Lufthansa?

[@tiffanylinski4685]

Good question!
