Is this just me being superstitious? Is it safe to just waitlist the GPU upgrade and let United handle it?
I have some flights that are way out in Nov/Dec and so its prob too early for R-space to appear but I'm booked into M fare and want to upgrade if possible, should I just waitlist?
My last 4 all worked fine, EWR-LHR cleared at the gate as we were boarding, it was full but the 2 that cleared ahead of us got moved to F. The return was GVA-IAD and cleared 2 weeks or so before the flight and I got an email to let me know.
