Internationally, the problem with the same flight number on two flights... it clears in both or not at all. So if the rule is the same domestically, LAX-DEN must be available AND DEN-BOS must be available. (I am not sure if this rule applies domestically.)
Right, the domestic rule is what I was wondering about. It's such an odd thing to see. I clicked through some dialog boxes (without reading them) on the way to apply the RPU, and it seemed to think I had already cleared LAX-DEN (which makes sense, I think there's R space available).
The seat selector is a mess, with two sets of the two segments. I can only select a seat for LAX-DEN. I confirmed with a customer service rep this morning that I'm in the same seat for the DEN-BOS as well, but it doesn't show up on United. It allows me to pick an F seat for DEN-BOS, then doesn't save it.
Whatever, I'll wait it out, and hopefully they both clear. If the seats go to battlefield, does the RPU do anything? Or is it "automatically" (e.g. a few phone calls) returned to me?
Update -- On the app, I show "Upgrade Confirmed" on LAX-DEN, but DEN-BOS still shows "Upgrade Waitlisted." Yet I can't select a F seat for LAX-DEN. And frankly, I don't want to, unless I'm upgraded for the entire route. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do from here?
