ORD-IAH. F9 when I looked ~30 hours before departure. When I got to the gate, there was only one F seat left and I was 11th on the list as a 1K. Ultimately only 1 upgrade clears off list according to flight status and by the time flight checks in full I am down to 12th, so I guess I was really 13th in line competing for that one seat.
This was the first time I missed UDU/EUA on a plane with more than 8 seats and wasn't an equipment swap down. I guess this is the new United I get to look forward to?
