I have learned to look for the "I" "IN" seat buckets on expert mode. But some flights do not have that as an option.... On the below flight what is the business award code?
C9 D9 Z9 R0 J0 Y9 S9 B9 P9 A9 E9 M9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 U9 K9 L9 T9 O0 G9 N0
-Does more availability in general Business and first class help my chances of finding saver tickets?
-Should we hold out to see if saver tickets open, or book a less ideal flight now before United rolls out their new Everyday fares.
- If we book one saver ticket and wait list an economy using the business points trick, would we sit together if we cleared?
Any and all tips & tricks to get us flyin' in style on our honeymoon would be appreciated!
This is a partner flight, right? Not operated by UA? Partner flights don't always have I. In fact, I've seen it appear for two weeks, then disappear completely after.
- Generally, yes. But I don't think there's a direct correlation.
- Do you have status? If no, you will get hit with a change fee if you try to change it after booking. But yes, it appears the rates will be increasing, so I would try and book before.
- There's no guarantee. If you clear far enough from departure, you could. If not, you'd be at the mercy of other passengers. Also, UA-operated flights and non-UA operated flights operate differently in terms of waitlisting, and ability to waitlist for an award.
I'd share a little more information for your itinerary, then people on this forum could really be of better assistance.
