E+ will consist of seats with some additional legroom (less than E+ on UA on most planes, more like E+ on UA's PS service). TV will be included for free in E+ seats.

Elites WILL NOT have free access to E+.

Anyone will be able to reserve E+ plus in advance by buying Y fares; elites will also get instant access with B or M fares.

Elites not on Y,B or M fares will be eligible for EUA from E- to E+.
I should hope not!

My idea:
  • EUA remains for all elites.
  • Gold and higher can access E+ for free anytime, Silver from OLCI. (There will be way too many elites. Perhaps that could also be for specific, elite-heavy routes instead, and all other routes, all elites can access E+ for free.)
  • Before OLCI, Silvers can book E+ for a discount of what kettles can book it for.
  • What's currently ELRs are regular E-, and can be accessed for free by all elites.
  • Elites in E- will be notified before kettles about seats that open up in E+ after elites are EUAed.
  • Current Y/B/M rules remain in effect.
  • E+ will have increased legroom, free DTV, free snack (similar to B6,) and more padded seat.
  • E- will be leather seats!
