I actually noticed the opposite, but it's not doing me any good! I was waitlisted for an XC seat on Monday's SYD-LAX flight. According to EF there are now TWO seats in I (the XC equivalent) where there were none yesterday, but I'm still showing waitlisted on united.com. I confirmed I'd even be able to book a one-way saver award, so the seat is there!

Interestingly, yesterday there were 8 standard awards available, and today there are only 6, even though the flight is showing J9. The upgrade list in the mobile app says 41 of 52 are booked (and nobody on the list).

I presume I'll clear before the flight but I sure wish I could get them to push it through now so I can stop worrying about it.
