Which United-upgrade option seem to be cheaper? Online, or at the airport just before check-in? Im flying from NYC (EWR) to Orlando in December.

Thanks!
Welcome to FT! ^

It is my understanding the UFC's (upgrades for cash) are dynamic, they can change depending on loads, original fare paid, dates, equipment, etc.

IME: I had a "buy up" offer at booking for (IIRC) 200-300, and the same flight UFC at check-in for under 100.

I had another flight a few weeks later to buy up for under 100... but UFC at checkin for over 200.

FWIW, I cleared UDU on both flights.
