Anchorage-Denver $368rt on Untied Airlines

Let’s get one thing straight: United is on my “s” list right now. B-a-a-d. Very b-a-a-d.

 

These bozos want to charge you $25 to check your second bag. I am not making this up.

 

So–what do you say when this once-proud airline pulls a dumb stunt like that? I, for one, just shake my head and say “You Bozos. Remove head from sand. Stop trying to punish your customers. Straighten up and fly right.”

 

Okay. I’ve said it. 

 

Now–if you want a cheap weekend deal to Denver, fly United. They’ve got a weekend special between Anchorage and Denver between Feb. 29 and Mar. 4. You can travel in either direction for just $368 roundtrip. That includes all the taxes and fees.

 

Jamie, Laura, J.D. or one of the fine professionals over at USTravel can set it up for you, along with your hotel and car rental. They charge an additional $38 to line up the air ticket and REMIND you not to check a second bag. Jeez. Call them at (907)561-2434 or toll-free (800)544-2217.

 

So–outbound on Fri. or Sat., Feb. 29 or Mar. 1 only.

Return on Mon. or Tue., Mar. 3 or 4 only.

 

Of course, these fares are subject to change without notice. And did I mention that United Airlines is really STUPID for instituting that baggage charge? Hmmm. Do you think that’s any sort of a guarantee the bag actually will GET there? I think n-o-o-t-t.

    In the 80’s and early 90’s I flew United a lot and considered them to be one of the best in the business. Since then I have observed a continual decline in quality of service and respect for their customers, so I share your pain with this latest gambit of theirs. They also now offer a type of seating they like to call comfort-plus, which basically is the old, minimally acceptable coach class but you pay extra to sit there, and it allows them to further reduce legroom for a large section of the plane to below even minimally acceptable or safe, in my opinion. I just flew them R/T Albuquerque and that experience leads to me to consider any and all other alternatives before I will choose to fly with them again.
