Although the US website says otherwise, my experience (and that of others on this forum) has been that the auto upgrade process goes smoothly when your Preferred DM # is entered into your UA codeshare/US metal ticket. You can also select your choice of seats gratis.

I think you can do it online (as HTSC notes above), but I find it easier to simply call...
