I am an almost 2 million miler/1K and have come to really not trust the "new" United aka Continental website when it comes to upgrades.

I have just booked trying to use SWU and each are waitlisted.

13-Sep ORD-FRA
24-Sep MUC-ORD

With this new convoluted website is it possible to see the number of seats available for Upgrade?

I am also flying this summer LAX-HNL (changed the equipment to the Cntl 757 from UAL 777...UGH) and from LIH-SFO (again equipment change to Cntl gear) all Upgrades are waitlisted.

While I can appreciate waitlisting the smaller 757s.....my ORD-FRA is on a 747 so I can't believe all of the Upgrade seats are taken already.

This new program has been BRUTAL!
