3rd on waitlist, I didn't get GPU upgrade, now batting 1 for 3 on this flight this year, whereas all previous flights last year was 4 for 4.

Very odd stuff going on here. 6 empty biz and 2 first seats, existed 24 hours out.

I'm flying in from Wellington to link up and caught in Catch 22 situation. On 016 ticket can't checkin 24 hours before departure on United site because first flight is Air NZ. Air NZ won't allow 24 hour online checkin because UA ticket and visa check. Which seems to drop my 3 month old GPU waitlist for 24 hours while others jump queue until I can check in at gate. Seems to be a glitch in software handshake with ANZ and UA.
