My question is simple. Does the purchase of an almost full fare economy fare allow the nobody to get a better seat? Or do we get treated just like the dirt that buy L fares? Also, does one get any premium of the EQMs or EQPs (sorry if I got that wrong but I am use to CO) over the lower economy fares.
BTW, I am looking forward to flying on UA. I will let you know how it goes.

On B fare you will get 150% EQM and 1.5EQS. However, since you are nobody, you will not get the 500 min. miles. As far as I know, even if you buy Y fare, you will not able to get E+ seat unless you pay extras. But it wouldn't hurt to ask at the gate.
