I am booked on a flight that is marketed by another carrier but flown by United. Can I get an upgrade on my flight?
Upgrade requests for flights marketed by other airlines but operated by United are only permitted at the airport on a standby basis on the day of travel and must be paid for using 500-mile, Confirmed Regional or Systemwide upgrades.
