Another convenience discontinued. Thanks to those who insisted on electronic upgrades.
IMHO the new system is fair and in line with other carriers. United pulls the electronic cert once the upgrade is requested confirmed or waitlist. This process ensures multiple upgrades are not requested with member having only one cert.
I am one of those who wanted AC to go to Eletronic upgrades.
As I have posted before, for my travel pattern, the new e-Upgrade is a major enhancement, first in since 2004,when I moved some of my travel to United.
