Any Chance for an Op-UP??
Hi,
I will be flying with my family DCA-RSW (Flt 1221) tomorrow. What are the chances that some of use will recieve an op up.
We are all on the same PNR
I am a UA 1K
My dad is a UA 1K
My Brother is a UA *S
My mom is a UA *S
The flight looks full in Y so I am wondering what my chances are and how op-ups work on US.
Thanks
Ben

There is anecdotal evidence that elites on UA are given op-ups with some kind of regularity. I've never seen it.
With GoFirst, everyone getting Gold, everything counts etc., those seats will probably be snagged by some Silver or Golds.
My guess is your chance is somewhere between 0 and 3%.

BTW-I cant imagine that people would buy up to F via GO First on a leisure route like DCA-RSW.

Op/ups occur after they do first for sale. So, I agree with the other poster, 3% is about right.
And also, don't forget, US holds a good number of seats back for sale in the F cabin so there's most likely at least a couple preferreds that haven't cleared yet.

I would just ask when you check in and make sure they put you on the list for volunteers, and hope for the best.

From all the flights I have taken in since the shares cut over it seems they stop holding F seats at 24 hours pre-flight and make them all available in the O bucket.
