With Polaris Class mostly empty, is UA upgrading its Premier members to fill all those empty seats? Does anyone think I'd have a good chance to snag an upgrade?
It is not a CPU eligible flight, so the chance of getting upgrades as a Premier Gold is close to zero.

Many have observed Polaris cabins are gone out with several empty seats on a number of international flights.
