Typically I book 2 weeks out. I try to do 3 when I can.

Sunday 2 weeks ago DEN-MCO H Fare stuck in E- return that Thursday, got upgraded night before, at gate got moved to E- middle, they said they upgraded too many people by mistake, only E- middle was left. Both flights asked for volunteers.

Sunday a week ago DEN-IND U fare. In E-, F went out full. Did not get UG or moved to E+. they asked for volunteers.

Return was last Thursday ORD-DEN U fare, stuck in E- no U/G. (IND-ORD was CR3). They asked for volunteers, U/G list had 77 people.

Last Sunday DEN-MSN V fare Stuck in E-, no U/G or room to move to E+ even at gate at gate. They asked for volunteers.

Tomorrow ORD-DEN V fare, Just moved up to E+ at OLCI, there was only 1 seat in E+, plenty in E-. KVS says 3 left in F. Probably no U/G.

Next Sunday DEN-MSN U Fare, got upgraded today! Yay! But it is UAX CR7. I do miss mainline F. I haven't had that in a while.

Next Thursday ORD-DEN U Fare 2 middle seats in E+, no exit rows, lots of E-. I've stayed in E- Aisle so far. (MSN-ORD is CR3).

This week, I got fed up and a week from Sunday booked DEN-MSN on F9 for $209 after tax, fully refundable ticket, get their version of E+, free drinks, and free TV all included with my ticket price. I love United, but I had to book F9, half the price of my normal ticket with free drinks, E+, and TV!

Sadly, if this trend keeps up...I may book more F9 and less UA.



So far, on my last few UAX CR7 flights, they are all in F.
