[Foss4g2011] united airline discounts

[Jody Garnett]

This may of already been discussed; but I found I was unable to use any of
the united airline discounts today (despite an hour on the phone to
different numbers).
It seems they may only be valid for customers in the us and canada (despite
the website mentioning star alliance partners and the documentation
including international contact numbers).

Does anyone know more?

Lists "local" contact numbers.

This is where it looks like disocunts apply to U.S. Point of Sale only; and
while international regions are mentioned they may be worded
to subsidize travel from the us to overseas rather than the other way
around.
