1) Does that mean that GPU on LH are only processed at check in? Or call you call into UAMP and request them to process your GPU and upgrade yourself?
2) Is there a way to check for upgrade availability on LH before ticketing?
1. Yes, no calling in possible.
2. No, its standby upgrade at the aiport only.

However, as I work near ORD I will again try to check in at T-23 at the LH ticket counter to get on the grading list (Does anyone know if calling them would have the same effect?) [...]
As I still have that extra cert I will certainly try, though I'm not sure if they'll be able to get me on the grading list from MAN, where I start my trip that morning, and I'll only have 1.5 hrs in MUC to work it. Any advice? Call the TA at MUC at check-in?
(PS: I'm booked in T on the return; only excluded for intra-Europe flights on the cert, but excluded according to UA GPU web page. Which is correct?)
No calling in possible, at ORD the staff will talk to the back office to make sure if they can add you to the grading lsit.
MAN can put you on the grading list, MUC will work the list about 4h in advance, no open settings on the flight like in FRA, so it will only be confirmed in MUC. The lounge or a service desk will call the FM in his/her office for you to check on the status.
Currently LH excludes T on longhaul:
