From my United account, I see 6 Global Upgrades and 4 Regional Upgrades. I guess all I have is an electronic upgrade certificates, right?
What is a paper upgrades? How do I get them?
United Global Premier Upgrades are meant for United flights when you book a W fare or higher. They can be used on Lufthansa, what you have to do is call UA and ask for a paper certificate for use on Lufthansa; they will debit the GPU and mail you a certificate that you can use day of departure at the airport for your Lufthansa flight. This is only for Lufthansa. Regional premier upgrades are usable for United only domestically.
