The cost will vary, depending on length of flight, whether it is international or not, and status of passenger (the last is debatable, and many threads here do that, but work with me here) I
If you want to pay cash for upgrade, you dont even have to wait until checkin, you can go to United.com and view your reservation, and there will likely bee an offer.....

Enjoy your flights
As previously mentioned, the cash upgrades have been a source of much discontent amongst United elite members since they bypass the regular upgrade waitlist.

The OP should take a look at this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...iscussion.html
