Thanks DENflyer. That is an amazing CPU rate.

How many hours out as a 1K do your CPUs clear?

I have been watching these flights and it seems that there are usually a lot of people on the upgrade standby list. It is just a 2 1/2 hour flight, so unless somebody really wants an upgrade, I imagine only a few cash in an RPU, IMHO.

Have there been a lot of people clearing the Upgrade standby list on the day of the flight? That is what I noticed when I checked it a few times.

Yes indeed. drowelf got an L fare on a Sunday, and upgraded at 96 hrs. I am assuming he was speaking about just the IAH-DEN leg.

However, I have not seen any L fares showing up for sale for the Dreamliner IAH-DEN. I do not think UA has any trouble filling this aircraft.

Yes, mgcsinc. They have not published L fares for sale for the Dreamliner IAH-DEN, from what I have seen so far. They have published them for other aircraft, even G fares. But so far, the lowest fare I have seen for the Dreamliner is a T fare.
