As if yesterday's move of adding minimum-spend requirements to attain elite status was not bad enough, United today (with no advance notice) has updated its award fee chart and General Members will be hit hard. No more free routing changes outside of 21 days. Now $75. Changes within 21 days now $100. Cancellation and redeposit now $200 for General Members. Premier Members not affected. Affects only tickets booked on or after June 19, 2013. Here's the new fee schedule. I've highlighted the changes in red below. Why the change now? Many asked yesterday how United would make elite status more valuable in exchange for adding minimum revenue requirements. Today we get a taste of Untied's answer: make MileagePlus less valuable for General Members! So I suppose you can say that elite status will be more valuable on United when it comes to booking award travel, but none of us should be comforted by the addition of more consumer fees: especially in light of the fact that an award routing change more than 21-days out (and even close-in) is cost-neutral to United when done online. In fact, I would think that United would welcome online changes as travel approaches, because usually people change to more direct flights, meaning that United theoretically saves on money it must shell out to partners for award seats. What is next? While I do not believe that United will embrace a revenue-based redemption model, I would look for an inflated award chart and the introduction of fuel surcharges in the next 18 months. Those changes would certainly affect more than just General Members... Bottom Line United MileagePlus still is the most valuable U.S. mileage currency overall, but the ability to change routing outside of 21 days (now only available with American Airlines and not for long I suspect) was a great benefit that will be missed by many of my Chase-card-holding clients, no doubt. I wonder if UA cleared this with Chase? Poor form that more notice was not given... (HT: Hack my Trip)

I liked Zhangye. Its a charming little city with many pedestrian streets lined up with colorful oldlooking buildings. It combines modern shopping malls and ancient temples. People there were very welcoming and helpful and the fact that Zhangye is so close to Ma Ti Si and Dan Xia Landform photos to come tells me I will definitely be back here.Unfortunately on my first night in Zhangye I must

Well we are here and the weather is not fantastic but a bit better than what you are expecting in NZ. Arrived Saturday after a good flight through but of course I did my normal no sleep routine and decided to get a head cold to make myself miserable.

This morning we visited the Cowra Visitors Information Centre to watch the 9 minute hologram which recounts the tragic story of the Cowra POW camp breakout in 1944. This is very interesting and very well done.We then drove out to the remains of the POW camp to have a look. It is hard to imagine the sadness and horror that took place in this peaceful and beautiful area.We set off home driving via

On my second day at Ma Ti Si I rode to another grotto 13km away. The Tibetan guesthouse owners had told me there was a road to go to Guan Yin Dong. What they didnt tell me or did I miss it was that the road was unpaved and VERY bumpy It took me 90 minutes to cover the 13km. The scenery was splendid though I took too many pictures and I imagined building a little summer mud house for the
