Called LH and they said they have no idea what UA meant about this purported list (from what I read on FT, I was wondering the same when I spoke to UA ). LH agent said that I should get to LAX 4 hours ahead of departure to request the upgrade and have the best chance to get upgraded.

I am trying to get to F from C, so my question is if I get there 6 hours pre-flight, should I go to the F lounge and present my SWU? Will they accept it that early?

Thank you!
