ʻO wau kekahi he 1K 3 Million Mile lele me United Airlines a hauʻoli i ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa ma United Airlines a me ka pūnaewele Star Alliance no ke ola.
Ua hauʻoli wau e hoʻāʻo i nā pōmaikaʻi o ke kūlana American Airlines Executive Platinum me ka nalowale ʻole o koʻu ola ʻana ʻo United Airlines 1K.
Hoʻokahi lālā o ka honua Qatar Hawaiian Airlines ʻO ia kekahi o nā mokulele maikaʻi loa aʻu i ʻike ai, akā ʻaʻole pono ia e launa pū me kona hoa One World lālā American Airlines.
Ma hope o ka hoʻolilo ʻana i kahi kokoke i $65,000 ma nā tiketi, ua nalowale au i $13,000 ma ke kaʻina hana a ua kokoke wau i kahi hōʻeha hopohopo. Ua hoʻopau wau i 3 mau hola ma ka awelika i nā lā he nui i ke kelepona ʻana i ka mokulele e hoʻoholo i kekahi mea.
Ma 2 mau manawa, ua hāʻawi mai kekahi ʻoihana huakaʻi haole i tiketi noʻu a ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia he $6,750 ka papa mua o ka mokulele ma ke ala hoʻokahi ma waena o Honolulu a i Los Angeles.
Ua loaʻa iaʻu ʻo American Airlines e hoʻopaʻa hou i ka pānaʻi F i kahi kumu kūʻai papa mua R maʻamau o $780 hoʻokahi ala.
Ua haʻi ʻia iaʻu i nā mahina he nui i hala aku nei e loaʻa kahi hōʻaiʻē i kaʻu profile American Airlines. Ua haʻi ʻia iaʻu hiki iaʻu ke hoʻohana ia no kahi huakaʻi ʻē aʻe. Ua ʻae wau, akā ʻaʻohe hōʻaiʻē i hōʻike ʻia.
Ua kāhea au i nā kelepona he nui i American Airlines me nā hola o ka manawa paʻa, nā ʻelele e kau ana ma luna oʻu, a me nā luna hoʻomalu e hoʻohiki ʻole i hāʻawi ʻia.
I kekahi manawa, ua aʻo ʻia au e hele i koʻu hale mokulele ʻo Honolulu, e kiʻi i kahi palapala hōʻaiʻē, ʻoiai ua pani ʻia ka counter American Airlines ma ka hola 11 am i nā hola ʻoihana.

- ʻAʻohe wahi hoʻokipa ma ke ʻano he lālā kiʻekiʻe loa me kahi tikiki papa pāʻoihana honua
I ka hahai ʻana i kaʻu mau hōʻaiʻē huakaʻi, ua hoʻohana au i nā hola he nui ma ke kelepona ʻana i nā pule he nui a ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi kelepona mai kahi luna hoʻokele American Airlines.
Ua hoʻouna aku au i nā leka uila a hoʻopiha i nā palapala, no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pane maʻamau e haʻi mai iaʻu ke lawe nui nei ʻo American Airlines i kaʻu leka e hoʻomaikaʻi - akā me ka ʻole o ka hopena, ʻaʻohe pane i kaʻu mau nīnau, ʻaʻohe hōʻaiʻē lele.
Ua haʻi ʻia iaʻu e kahi luna AA ma kahi leka leo i loaʻa iaʻu i ke aumoe ma Malaki 25, 2023:
“ʻO Deedee koʻu inoa. ʻAe, e Mr. Steinmetz, ʻo Deedee kēia me American Airlines. Ke kāhea nei au mai kahi laina i hoʻopaʻa ʻia. Ua kamaʻilio mua wau iā ʻoe e pili ana i ka voucher i loaʻa iā ʻoe.
“No laila, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻoe ua leka uila ʻia ka voucher iā ʻoe. Ke kala mai nei au no kou kuhi hewa ʻana. Ke hōʻike nei au he palapala hoʻokele kaʻa. Pono ka helu āu i hāʻawi mai ai iaʻu 001-042-488-xxxx. E hoʻouna ʻia kēlā palapala hoʻokele iā ʻoe. ʻAʻole ia he mea. E leka uila ana. E hoʻouna ʻia ana ia iā ʻoe, no laila he palapala hōʻoia e hoʻouna ʻia iā ʻoe, no laila e manaʻo ʻoe e loaʻa koke ia. Ke kala aku nei au no ka huikau, a ke manaolana nei au e pane ana keia i kekahi o kau mau ninau. Mahalo iā ʻoe no ke kelepona ʻana iā American Airlines; hauʻoli ʻoe i ke koena o kāu ahiahi."
Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka pane like mai nā luna mokulele, akā ʻaʻohe mea i hiki mai.
Ma hope o nā hola kelepona hou, ʻaʻohe ʻike hou i loaʻa.
Ua hōʻike kaʻu waihona huakaʻi i kahi hōʻaiʻē mokulele o $450 no kahi huakaʻi i hoʻopau ʻole ʻia i ka wā COVID i 2022.
ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻohana iā ia ma ka pūnaewele a ʻaʻohe manawa e hoʻāʻo e hoʻohana iā ia i loko o kēia haunaele. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻohui pū me nā tiketi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e komo pū ana me Qatar Airways.
ʻO ka hope, ua kāhea au a hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hōʻaiʻē no ka lele ʻana o Mei 2023 mai Honolulu a i Las Vegas. Ua ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kumukūʻai, akā maikaʻi wau i ke kākau ʻana i ka ʻokoʻa.
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kēia hoʻopaʻa ʻana iaʻu ma ka leka uila a kau ʻia ma lalo o "nā mokulele e hiki mai ana" ma kaʻu profile American Airlines. Ua hana wau i kēia hoʻopaʻa ʻana ma Malaki me kahi luna kelepona kelepona.
I ka pule i hala aku nei ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi leka uila e hōʻoia ana i kahi hoʻomaikaʻi hoʻomaikaʻi no kahi ʻāpana ma kēia huakaʻi.
Ma muli o ka hui ʻana o kēia ʻāpana me kahi hoʻopaʻa kūʻokoʻa e hiki ai i Frankfurt no IMEX i kēia pule aʻe, a ʻaʻole kūpono ka manawa, ua kāhea wau i ka American Airlines e hana i kekahi mau loli iki.
ʻO koʻu pūʻiwa, haʻi ʻia mai iaʻu he reservation akā ʻaʻohe tikiki. Ua haʻi ʻia iaʻu e helu hou ka ʻelele i ka tiketi, a ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻohana i ka hōʻaiʻē mokulele mai ka makahiki i hala mai ka wā i pau ai.
Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻelele ʻo ka mea nāna i hoʻopaʻa i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana noʻu i 2 mau mahina i hala aku nei ʻaʻole ia i tikiki, a i kēia manawa ua lohi loa. ʻAʻohe oʻu ala e ʻike ai a kānalua paha i kēia.
Ua huhū au a noi ʻia e kamaʻilio me kahi luna e hana ana i ka lawelawe mea kūʻai Platinum. Ma hope o ka paʻa ʻana no 92 mau minuke, ʻōlelo ka luna hoʻomalu ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hana i kekahi mea. Inā makemake au e hoʻopaʻa ʻia, pono wau e uku hou i ka uku i kēia manawa.
E kala mai ʻo American Airlines, ʻaʻohe mana o kāu mau mea kūʻai aku e hāʻawi i ka lawelawe mea kūʻai aku, a ua hoʻolālā ʻia kāu ʻōnaehana e hoʻonāukiuki a hoʻopunipuni i nā mea kūʻai aku.
Minamina loa wau, United Airlines, no ka hoʻopunipuni ʻana iā ʻoe me American Airlines.
ʻO United Airlines, ua hao ʻoe iaʻu no 35 mau makahiki, a e hoʻomau wau e hōʻike i koʻu kūpaʻa iā ʻoe.
Ua hauʻoli wau i koʻu kūlana Executive Platinum ma American Airlines ma muli o koʻu ʻike i ka lele ʻana i ka Q-suite ma Qatar Hawaiian Airlines.
Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole pono ka mālama ʻana i ka American Airlines no ka mālama ʻana i kēia kūlana, ʻoiai me ka nui o ka Champagne haʻahaʻa ma ka American Airlines i kapa ʻia ʻo ka papa mua.
Aia paha kahi manawa no E hui pū ʻo Emirates i Star Alliance?
United Airlines - E kūpaʻa hou au!
Maopopo wau i ka laina wela o ka mea kūʻai aku ʻo United Airlines 1K.
