Thanks for the data pt.
No, he said it cleared PRE March 3.
Meaning the confirmed upgrade with seats which was in NF was moved to ON, but it doesn't matter as it had cleared.
I had the same deal for an outbound flight tomorrow. No prob with check-in & BP. But this is for an already confirmed first seat.
Waitlisted ON on a 2-class might well be a black hole, in terms of the upgrade going through.
Though UA is working on a systematic solution, I called today to have a 2-class return flight that was waitlisted in ON switched to R.
The agent was awesome and fixed it in about 30 seconds.
