What a travel day! Such a thorough explanation of the benefits of your 1K status on United…so helpful for anyone wanting to learn more about airline loyalty programs! My son has always loved Manga like Brooklyn! I remember traveling with all the books, when he was younger. 😊 Loved the look of the merino wool pieces!❤
It seems like you're discussing the Premier Qualifying Flights (PQF) and Premier Qualifying Points (PQP) earned on a trip with United Airlines and its Star Alliance partners. PQFs are based on the number of flight segments flown, while PQPs are based on the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges on flight purchases. From your description, it appears that Erin and Phil, both being 1K members, earned about 9,300 miles and 845 PQPs each from your round trip. Brooklyn and Colt, who are Premier Platinum members, earned different amounts of miles and PQPs for the same trip. Brooklyn earned about 7,600 miles and 845 PQPs, while Colt earned a little over 6,000 miles and 675 PQPs. The difference in miles and PQPs between Brooklyn and Colt is indeed puzzling, especially since they are both Premier Platinum members and presumably traveled on the same flights. Age should not be a factor in the accumulation of miles and PQPs, as these are typically based on the fare paid and the distance flown. One possible explanation could be the fare class of their tickets. Different fare classes can earn different amounts of miles and PQPs. If Brooklyn and Colt were booked under different fare classes, this could account for the discrepancy. However, without more information, it's hard to say for certain why there's a difference. I recommend reaching out to United Airlines' customer service for a more detailed explanation. They should be able to provide a breakdown of how the miles and PQPs were calculated for each passenger. If you find out, I'd be interested to know the reason too! 😊
Good breakdown on PQPs & PQFs, though I’ll have to watch your video again for more clarity. I could never retain UNITED’s explanation in their website regarding these P’s & F’s, so glad to hear it from the experts Erin & Phil. The kids are troopers for enduring the ever changing timetables in your world travels. Cole’s glasses look cool on him, makes him look even smarter than he already is.
Hello Lockwoods! I hope you're getting your well-deserved rest after that long flight. Been following you guys for a couple of months now but It's just on this particular episode that I've decided to finally drop a comment as this one struck me as one of the most interesting personally and closest to my heart. Why? I'm a Filipino who used to be a Colorado resident almost two decades ago and lived in Lakewood for five years. Seeing you guys do a little feature on Denver International and walked through it gave me some real pleasant flashbacks indeed, especially seeing that good ol' Jamba Juice is still there and when you rode the train going through the concourses. I now live here in Bulacan (just barely an hour drive from Manila) so let me be one of the first to WELCOME you guys back to your second home. The climate is just right for your arrival as it's not that humid yet here and there's still that 'Amihan' wind blowing here and there. MABUHAY!
We definitely should have joined the United Loyalty program earlier. Anyway, you guys are absolutely amazing! Managing to vlog at such a high level during such a long travel day is impressive 👏We do long for those days though. And yes! It's so good to have you back in the PH! 🎉
Happy Birthday Sir Phil !! You look smashing and really cool at 21 in those travel wear.... Hey and. UNITED should sponsor you guys already ❤❤❤ Welcome HOME to Pinas Lockwoods. Yes, home a nice new touch. Excited to what you guys are up to next and on LTP. :)
I’m a United Flight Attendant, SFO based. Thanks for flying with us. But honestly, I despise DEN, 😂 I think it’s one of the worst airports 😂. Just because I was stuck there for 2 days back in December 2022 during Southwest meltdown 😂 anyways, I hope I get to work the flights that you’ll be on next time 😊
I don’t get the hate on DEN. Easy to get around, the train is fast, cap 1 lounge and centurion. I don’t know I’d rather be in DEN than IAH, IAD, ORD or even ATL. The construction is a bummer but it’s not terrible.
Erin, i had the same plan flying from Manila to LAX three weeks ago... i was well adjusted time-wise but my stomach was hating me lol... 2-days and several CR trips later i was all better hahaha... have a great time lockwoods! and Happy Birthday Phil!!
Hello guys very,very welcoming in the Philippines i love you take care travelling to come Here in Philippines and i like your video very we'll, have a nice day everyone,God blessing you more, hopefully you enjoying the lovely family again God bless
So happy it’s helpful. You should use our link and check them out. We were seriously impressed with how comfortable we still were after 30 hours of travel.
I learned a lot about the mileage points from you guys. I’m thinking of signing up for the credit cards but the only issue I have is I don’t think I fly out that much. I would love to get upgrades on those first class benefits.
I love United business class. 1K status is awesome for you, does that mean business class is cheaper? For 1K status, i guess you need to travel alot. Anyways, looking forward to your next vlog series. How do you come up with excellent content and know what to say. What do you use for video editing. I'd like to upgrade my video filming camera. What would you Recommend. What is the best way to vlog with a Camera like yours. I still find saying something in public is a bit nervous for me. Do you have any tips?
Business class isn’t cheaper but 1K gives you opportunities to get upgrades without any additional costs. So happy you like our content 😊 Phil and I are always chatting about strategy and content ideas. I use Final Cut Pro for editing. You can find all the equipment we use, including the camera, at followabc.com/gear We recommend practice! The more you talk to a camera in public the more comfortable you’ll be. 🤗
I have always found it best and most satisfying on a trip to do as this family does, Uber is mandatory, the old "hey, can you take me to the airport?" No way Jose! Also, yes book your flights carefully with layovers and transfer times in mind. You don't want to spend the night in the airport with children. And flying business/first is WAY WAY WAY worth it and not much more if you shop carefully. You get free check bags, meals on board, first to board and you board, and the comfort is incomparable.
Interesting story: that was a blind woman headed on a vacation across Japan, so those were special tinted glasses and the magnifying glass was totally necessary! (it's hard to see people in the background with this camera because of the blur) 👍🏼
Hi there… love watching your videos. Can you explain the travel hack when you book Manila RT compared to booking from US.. how do you change date so that the return will be earlier than the departure date? Thanks❤
We don’t change the return to earlier. We are purchasing round trip tickets from Manila. We started by getting out to Asia on the cheapest one way tickets we could find and now travel back and forth with Manila as the hub.
I also live in Aurora Colorado. I thought SFO was bad w hen it coms to airport traffic, until I live here. What a chaotic DIA airport. I heard it has been in construction for a very long time as you mentioned! Well it trained me to come hours early. Enjoy your stay /residency in PI. You must live in Aurora too whereat?
are your kids taking online class or do they go to school in philippines? my daughter is in sophomore year and wondering if you have recommendations for online school for her to continue her school in the u.s while constantly traveling. TIA!
Love your vlog. Me and wife always watch your trips in the Philippines. What brand your wife back pack and your son. We’re planning to visit Philippines this summer and we’re looking for a good travel backpack. What brand your back pack and your son back pack they’re look nice and size. Thx Th
Take extra care guys love seeing your vlogs hoping you visit lapulapu city and explore our city with good food and good coffe here at nimobrew mactan lapulapu city and i am sure colt will be excited to see our local pets here at cebu plants conpany which is located again at mactan lapulapu.❤❤❤❤
U can visit south India u can see variety of different foods temples heritage and culture especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu it's amazing Kerala, munnar, kochi, wayanad, Kodaikanal, Ooty, coimbatore, manglore, Gokarna, Coorg, Bangalore, Mysore, Alleppey, Udupi, Chennai, Karnataka the world heritage site tanjavur bruhadeeshwara temple tamilnadu and palani temple tamilnadu here the god idol is made up of different types of ayurvedic medicines when we pour any liquid on idol it absorbs the medicinal properties and we drink the liquid we don't get any diseses
As long as his feet can reach the rudder pedals, you're absolutely right! The realism is insane and he wouldn't be the first person to jump into a plane and fly it after learning in MFS 👍🏼
please do a collaboration with Mikey Bustos, his popular filipino vlogger with a farmhouse with many collections of reptiles, ants, spider, birds,snake. Colt will definitely love it.
The most stupid thing. A bean counter that doesn't care or thinking. She didn't think about the total weight of your combined luggage. Moving it from one bag to another gives the same total. The weight is consideration for plane fuel, landing weight, etc. She could have saved you the trouble. Of course, that would require an overdrive from her supervisor. And why would she bother with that extra step, right?
United is the worst airline. 1 lb over in 1 bag when you have 1 lb under bag is fine with other airlines. UA actually made you move the 1 lb. You're missing out a lot by choosing UA instead of an airline like Singapore if you go to Asia a lot. Why even stick with them if you don't have lounge access. We avoid UA like the plague.
We actually find a lot of value with UA since our main airport in the US is Denver. It would be hard for us to gain status on other airlines and find the upgrades and prices we’re comfortable with.
UA is also our chosen airline. We always get an upgrade whenever we request for them. We’ve been flying with this airline for nearly twenty years and never had any problems.
@@zensidapatel-fv2qf That's one positive of the bad airlines, their biz class seats are always available. The best airlines are always fully booked on their first few days of availability.

My son has always loved Manga like Brooklyn! I remember traveling with all the books, when he was younger. 😊

That's so cool! Personally, I'd rather have all the manga on an iPad to save the weight and bulk of the backpack, but not Brooklyn! 😄

just wanna say... Phil lookin BUFF in that UM shirt... looks like a slim fit profile... curious if my shoulder will be too snug
Really?! That's awesome!
I thought he looked great too ;) - Erin
I may have missed this.. but do you guys only use your ntg microphones when filming or use a wireless/lapel?
Oh! I have Clear too and it’s so convenient because I don’t need to fall in line.
Clear and recheck makes it so much easier!
Interesting video.
Merino? Big fan.

What does Manila return trip mean? And how is it cheaper?
We were finding round trip tickets from Denver were close to 2k per person. I got our last two round trip tickets from Manila for $950 per person. 👍🏻
cool i'm filipino and i work for UA in Denver .. 😃
What United Credit card is best?
Lovely~ 🥰🥰🥰

It was so much easier back when United used EQS or EQM to qualify for status.
Brooklyn didn’t look happy going through Denver airport, another 6,490km south from Japan u can enjoy the heat of Australia
None of us were very happy getting up at 4am for a 24-hour travel day haha 😂
