2003 Onepass Changes
Breaking news. . . .

Changes in 2003:
  • There will be mileage caps for itineraries booked in the deeply discounted fare classes. For T class, the limit is 250 miles with 0 elite segments. For travel booked in Q, it will be 500 miles and the segments as flown.
  • Domestic mileage upgrades will not be permitted for travel booked in T or Q class.
  • Waitlisting will not be permitted for AllPass domestic mileage upgrades.
  • There will be charges for reward travel booked close to the date of travel. There will be a $50 ($35 for elites) charge for rewards redeemed 4-14 days in advance. There will be a $75 charge for rewards booked 3 days or less in advance. No charge for booking beyond 14 days.

No changes; remaining the same:
  • Elite upgrades for travel booked in all classes (yes, including T and Q)
  • BusinessFirst upgrade policies
  • Everything else!

This is not so bad for me; it could be a lot worse. Additionally, I wouldn't be surprised to see the mileage caps changed later after US Airways changed their decision on a similar announcement.

It looks like I'll lose the elite segments on some of my leisure travel, though. It's not that big of a deal, though, since it will just make Gold and Platinum Elite worth more.

Elite upgrades for all fares! Woohoo!

Oh wait, I'm getting excited about something that we already have. I guess I was sure that we were oing to lose it after what everyone has been saying. But speculation isn't worth much.

Yeah, I have to admit that these changes aren't nearly as bad as I'd feared they might be. I'm not sure I understand what the first bullet point means, though. How will the mileage caps work?

All-in-all, seems reasonable. But taking a mileage hit on cheapo flights is a bummer. And the last-minute, reward booking pentalty doesn't bode well for those with spontaneous travel plans...

It would appear to me, looking at http://messages.yahoo.com/bbs?.mm=FN...81502&mid=4007

those are supposed to be 2 columns, and the post is formatted badly. Thus the caps are:
T fares: 250 miles, 0 elite segments
Q fares: 500 miles, segments as flown
i.e. Q fares will still count for segments while T fares will not.

It seems that on a T class ticket, you get 250 miles per segment max and 0 "elite segments." On a Q class ticket, you get 500 miles per segment and 1 "elite segment."

What I'm not sure about if these are caps on "elite miles" or regular miles.

laguardiaguy says that he spoke with a rep at Onepass and the T/Q mileage caps will not be in place due to competitive issues.
