I have an upcoming International itinerary mixed CO and UA.
I designated CO as main elite program.
How do I ensure that my GS is noted on my UA flight segments/boarding pass? I sure would like to board first, and the TA said something about First upgrades as GS?
Thank for any help.
You definitely want to take advantage of your GS benefits! Can you elaborate on the itinerary and which flights are UA & CO? GS does not get any comp upgrades on int'l flights however you're top priority for operational upgrades if any are needed. Are you in economy or paid biz class? As a GS you can use United's Arrivals suites no matter what class you're traveling in...the suites are at SFO, ORD, LHR. You also would get preferential treatment in the case of irrops including personal service (ie GS reps coming to find you..sometimes).
As far as using your UA number on part of the itin and your CO number on the rest.. I'm not sure how that would work. From what I've read... GS is better than PPlat.. so you might just put your UA number on the entire reservation. You'll still be above CO Plat for any EUA upgrades on your CO domestic segments.
