h moire civilized that rathole LAX and better connections to NYC, sadly no longer to JFK on UA, but if you fly HN aka All Nippon to Washington Dulles, you can clear customs and immigration easily (at least before COVID) and then catch a 50 minute flight to La Guardia NYC and have a much cheaper cab ride to most places in Manhattan....
Wow! Thats good to hear! They finally got those slots back! Is it still T7 like the old days? Free TSA Precheck before Trump for United premier members was great so you could walk in and out to smoke and leave your carryon in the United Club or Global Services/First Lounge LAX has good lounges now compared to the old days, but its still a rathole if you want to loungehop to the Star Alliance Lounge or I think new Amex Lounge
I have a vague recollection that UA connections to the east coast via SFO also earned more points for those extra mins! I haven’t done if for years, but SFO was always my preferred transit over LAX flying UA.
Just checked. UA is back at T7. They use the Alaska lounge (ironically UA's old lounge when they were a slightly larger tenant there).

Oh nice, they do include partner flights. Virgin Australia flights count towards MQMs. I can see the appeal in that. Shame it is ending soon though.No, SkyMiles members could earn Redeemable miles and Medallion Qualification on VA flights. They still can until June 12th 2022.

Sounds like it is any class including Basic Economy, since the measure is just BIS miles. Excludes purely award-based travel. Ofc this basically means LAX, SFO or soon to be IAH as the first stop on the journey since its only UA metal.

Well, cough. I don't mind a short flight to connect to the long outbound leg, coming home is a disaster though... nothing worse than waiting around for a connecting flight after a long haul

Yes, indeed Glen.Been there done that, all in the past thankfully.
UA was just mile based then … do 100,000 real flown miles a calendar year (or 100 flight segments) and you got a 1K card, so did that for 20 years. Class of travel made no difference.
Indeed, near all of it was upgraded anyway to the wonderful Systemwide certs.
