Hi ElieW and rwsteelers, as you and others have noted, we’ve had some time discrepancies reported today. The issue is related to daylight savings time this weekend. The correct scheduled time for your flight is the one you see when you view your reservation on united.com. The time you see under “Check Flight Status” is what is incorrect. We’re working with priority to correct this.

All good except the departure time shown on the upgrade email is an hour later than the actual scheduled departure time. Perhaps another daylight savings time issue.
Hi SeattleFred, the time issue is the same one noted above. But, agree with you that there’s opportunity for us to improve the subject line of the email. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi hobo13, this ability to request that GPUs be printed to paper for use on LH is not available on united.com, but, our Contact Centers have a procedure for this. If you're still having trouble getting this printed for use on LH, please PM us.

Hi demkr, now that we’re on a single system this is on deck as something that we’ll work to add.

Now the elite line and the electronic support desk keep telling me that there is a fare class requirement on that flight. Except according to the website, http://pss.united.com/web/en-US/cont...e/default.aspx, and see attached screen shot there is no fare class requirement listed. What can be done to get this fixed?
Hi colpuck, we’ve put some fixes in to correct some of the RPU / GPU redemption issues on united.com, but, if this is failing due to a fare class restriction in this market, then we may have another bug. As you referenced, GPUs should not be restricted to HNL. We’ll get this message to our support desks as well.

Thanks for the link, but despite what they say that: "Eliminated error messages stating that a reservation needs to be reissued". It is patently untrue in my case. My reservation in June still shows: ! A modification has been made to your itinerary. Please contact United Reservations to have your ticket reissued. This reservation was ticketed and confirmed on Sat., Feb. 25, 2012 at 10:51 a.m. Central Time.
Hi Pat89339, if you’d like to PM us with your confirmation number, we’d be happy to research this further. While most of these have reservations been corrected, there are still a few use cases out there that we’re working to identify.

I don't know if this was also the case with continental.com or if it's the result of the integration. I thought I'd just point it out.
Hi gusd, I tried to recreate this, but, the markets I tried worked nicely. If you’d like to share the markets and dates you were trying, we can take a closer look at what’s happening.

Hi redwoman, yes, as you and some others have noted, some of these PQMs still need to be restored. We are aware and continue to work on this. Thanks for sharing your example.

Hi wxguy, your status will be updated automatically.

I pulled up the receipt from past itinerary and found that the last three flights are listed as ON class. So I'm guessing that this is the reason why they haven't posted. The third flight is correctly listed as R class, so I'm not sure why this hasn't posted yet.
Hi MtRoot got your PM on this. Thanks for sending over the details. We’ll take a closer look and I’ll update the master thread over the weekend with any details.

Hi aCavalierInCoach, I don’t think I’m following the situation you’re experiencing. If you have any other details you’d like to post or PM us, I’m interested to see if there is an error here or if we need to improve the experience.
