My boyfriend has United Premier 1K and I have a flight to Chicago (YYC-ORD) on May 30th, and the return flight is back to Calgary through San Francisco (ORD-SFO-YYC), the ORD-SFO flight is fairly long and they're using a B777-200 so my boyfriend used one of his Regional Premier Upgrades for me on my return flight. The second segment (SFO-YYC) is confirmed, however, the first segment (ORD-SFO) says 'upgrade requested' and I am wait listed. There are 21 seats available in Business class on this flight, so I am just wondering why I am wait listed first of all, and second, what are the chances I will be cleared and get a seat in business class on that flight? As I understand they go off my status? Which I don't have yet.
