First Class Two-Destinations-for-One on United

Our Stopover Loophole Strategy (SLS) nets First Class flights for the Price of Coach from many U.S. Cities.

When readers ask how we see ourselves, one way we say it simply is, “We’re the accountants of the air.” It doesn’t sound glamorous, does it? But that’s what you pay us for: to scrutinize fare-rule minutiae, scour the upgrade universe, and scope out the opportunities.

This report is about that last task. It explains how FCF’s Stopover Loophole Strategy (SLS) can get you a First Class seat on United at a fare that is less than, the same as, or slightly more than coach. Or, from another perspective: Get two destinations First Class for about the cost of one.
