To improve my chances of getting a Saver Business Award, can I also waitlist for the IN fare on UA 949 on the same day? I read in Wiki you can waitlist on up to 2 flights per PNR, but I'm not sure if this is possible. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure policy is that you may only waitlist for one alternative at a time, although it is possible in the sense that an agent could type it into the system.
