US Airways Gold - Flying United
Hello There
I am new to this forum. I am flying alot of United flights using my UsAirways DM number. Depart and Connection are all United.
I am now Gold on US Airways, will I be able to get a Economy Plus set or upgraded to first? Do I get priority boarding?
Just wondering
thanks
john

No on the upgrades.
*G will get you the luggage allowance and priority boarding (listen to announcements and don't crowd the priority line ahead)

You aren't CPU-eligible so you won't get the freebie UG. But, UA offers a lot of decently-priced UG's, so ask if you don't get an offer.

The short explanation is you'll have to buy anything outside of published *G benefits. Any extras like E+ or F will have to be bought unless you're entitled to it with a UA number.
That said, you'll likely be able to buy a TOD upgrade at check-in and bypass all the elites waiting for an upgrade.
