BTW, you may not be the only people on the waitlist and unless you have status, most of the others will be ahead of you.

At checking, you will be asked if you want to continue to waitlist -- if you do, then the PNR will be split and you may be upgraded separately (at the gate only single person PNRs can be upgraded). If you decline to continue to be waitlisted, you will not be split up.

Thank you for this clear explanation. We do not have any status (first time traveling UA in decades!!!). I assume we won't clear then and will prepare ourselves to be in E+ for the return flight. I'm grateful that at least we cleared for business on the way there!
