UDU working
Hey, just thought I would share my experience.
I'm a Premier Exec flying from Charlotte to Chicago, was not listed as automatic when I checked in. But at the gate I asked the agents about the upgrade policy, they made the request and I was moved to United First.
They also said that it's still new for gate agents, so if you don't have anything in your account indicating an upgrade, ask at the gate.
Alright, bloody mary time.
