Forget the Lemon Detox diets...most of them are more interested in Botox diets. I have to live with them every trip unfortunately so I can attest to the fact that they aint getting any smaller, lighter, or younger !!!

And lets not go down the "skilled" road

"United, Fly The Overweight Skies"

I noticed on their website they are offering LAX-SYD for US$499 (AU$692) one way which seems very cheap. What is the normal fare for this trip outside of the sale period?

Nick, I have no idea...sorry mate . I always fly @ employee rates which have nothing in common with regular full fares.

Regards

Most of the time you get paid to fly ... not the other way around.

So the sale must be for THEM to pay you US$499 to put up with the grannies and poor service
