United Airlines Still Sucks: Global Premiere Upgrade Useless Again
November 18, 2012
The decline of United Airlines has not abated. Jeff Smisek continues to alienate his frequent travellers, myself included.
You know those “Global Premier Upgrades” they hand out as rewards for flying too much? Well, they don’t work. Once again a “nuclear cert” did not work for me on a trip from Europe (fortunately for me only on the 8.5 hour flight home). United seems not to understand that the basis of my loyalty is not miles that I accumulate but upgrades. Especially upgrades on long haul fights to and from Europe.
Since the upgrade system no longer works, I have no reason to remain loyal to United.

Every time I have attempted to use one this year, I have ended up on an upgrade list that did not in the end have me upgraded. That just sucks.
