Caron United yarn is now a discontinued product, so I won't have to warn you to not buy it. But for those of us with leftovers in the yarn stash, here's a warning on what not to make with United: Isn't| Crochet is the Way
Three concurrent promotions make it possible to buy United miles for 1.44 cents each (or as low as 1.36!). I posted earlier that it’s possible to stack two promotions to increase the transfer ratio of Wyndham points to United miles to 2:1. Now sprinkle in Wyndham’s sale on purchased points and… ta-da! You can buy […] The post Stack 3 promos to buy United miles for 1.44 cents each, or less appeared first on Frequent Miler. Frequent Miler may receive compensation from CHASE.

Wyndham is currently offering double United miles when you transfer Wyndham points to United. Standard transfers are 5 to 1, and so this deal brings the transfer ratio up to 5 to 2. This should stack nicely with the current 25% transfer bonus from hotel programs to United MileagePlus. The Deal A member may transfer […] The post 100% transfer bonus from Wyndham to United MileagePlus (Stack with United offer to bring ratio to 2:1) appeared first on Frequent Miler.

United is offering a 25% bonus when transferring hotel points to United. Since most hotel programs offer poor transfer ratios to miles, this isn’t an especially exciting deal, but it could be useful for some, especially when stacking with other deals (such as a Wyndham promo that I’ll post about shortly). The Deal You must […] The post 25% transfer bonus from hotel programs to United MileagePlus appeared first on Frequent Miler. Frequent Miler may receive compensation from CHASE.

United has really been putting the hard sell on consumers about just how great Newark is lately. I get it. The headlines were really bad earlier this year when the wheels fell off at the airport, so they want to counter that now that it’s running better. But the truth is that Newark sucks, JFK...| Cranky Flier
United CEO Scott Kirby was recently interviewed by my co-podcaster Brian Sumers on stage at the APEX Expo in Long Beach, and I made my way down the road to attend.

I’ve had a lot of offline discussion about aircraft configuration and premium focus as of late, so I decided it was time to dive into the details to see just how things have changed at different airlines over the past decade. I unquestionably expected we’d see differences, but, well, I did not expect them to...| Cranky Flier
United and JetBlue carefully crafted their Blue Sky partnership to avoid any regulatory concerns. The airlines aren’t codesharing, there is no pricing or schedule coordination, and in general, they’ve followed the guidance that the judge who shot down the Northeast Alliance (NEA) between American and JetBlue gave on how to construct a legal partnership. But that doesn’t mean that everyone is happy just letting this happen without a fight. Nobody should be surprised to hear that Spiri...| Cranky Flier
I am always fascinated by New York’s JFK International Airport. It’s one of the rare examples in the US — the only example? — that has multiple private operators running different terminals. And in the past, that has made for some very strange bedfellows. But the airport’s $19 billion plan to remake itself is finally showing how most airline locations are starting to fall into place. The recent addition of United to Terminal 6 as part of its JetBlue deal just cements it even further.| Cranky Flier
The worst-kept secret in the industry finally became officialy last week when United and JetBlue announced the launch of their Blue Sky partnership. The headlines were about what I expected, but there were some interesting nuggest buried in the release. I spoke with JetBlue President Marty St George to get the story.| crankyflier.com

Earlier this week I found myself in Rome in the morning with about 20 minutes to spare. Walking around the neighborhood I was staying in (Trastevere), I came across an elderly nun walking along one of the bigger, and more crowded, streets of Rome.
