fastair, thanks for the clarification. I thought standby was different than waitlisting for upgrades. Have you been informed on if this policy will change?

The UDU documentation on UA.com says that pax on the same PNR will carry the elite members status when on the UG list.


Can I use Unlimited Domestic Upgrades when traveling with friends or family?

Yes, we?ll automatically request Unlimited Domestic Upgrades for you and up to one other person traveling on the same reservation number. Your companion?s upgrade request will be prioritized based on your Mileage Plus status.
