Strange code in "My Itineraries"
Logged into My Itineraries this evening to check the waitlist status of an upgrade on LAX-SFO-PEK scheduled for March. Last time I checked, I was waitlisted for C PEK-SFO on 3/18 and it said:
Flight: Confirmed
SSR_MP_PB
With no seating assignment for the NC booking.
Knowing about the PA and PB waitlists, I figured the code was some reference to my position. Now, the code has changed to:
SSR_MP_KL
Any idea what this means? In addition, there's a little red reminder (in the waitlisted segment box only) to call UA to confirm; however, there's been no schedule change for UA888 since I booked a couple of weeks ago. Should I bother calling to see what's up?

Sorry, I'm a newbie so this question may seem elementary...but what does PA and PB stand for?

UPDATE: I checked UA888 for 3/18 and it's gone from I0 to I9. I'll call tomorrow to make sure I have one of those slots.
Still curious about the code, if anyone knows...

KL means you've cleared the waitlist. Call to select a seat in your upgraded cabin.
PA/PB are waitlists.

So..whats the difference between SSR_MP_KK and SSR_MP_KL?

Rather unintuitive, though, if you ask me
When I called, the computer voice told my my upgrade had cleared and handed me over to a U.S. based agent for my seat assignment ^
Got 16A for both 889 and 888. I tried getting 15A on 889, as ual.com showed it to be unoccupied, but the agent wouldn't let me book it. Do they enforce the rule of allowing pre-booking of exit rows for only 1Ps and above in C as well?

Not that I have specific knowledge, but I remember reading somewhere that "KK" is "Can Confirm" or something like that.

Thanks, I just noticed that code on a PS flight for week after next. I got the email saying it cleared and checked to confirm on My Itineraries and saw the weird code I hadnt seen. This will be useful in the future if we are trying to move from one waitlist to another.

Where are those codes??
I too am listed as on the waitlist for an F upgrade from C for SFO to SYD on 1/19. I see I'm waitlisted, but I don't see anything like those codes. I'm confirmed for SYD to SFO on 3/2, but again, no codes. Is there a setting or different way to get to My Intineraries I should use?
