I have changed my flight from FRA-IAD nonstop to FRA-EWR-IAD, with B748 for FRA-EWR. I was surprised that UA 1K agent could not select the upper deck seats for me and my wife. We have the lowest business fare, P, if this matters. Will the upper deck seats open as flight nears? Or is it due to the lack of business travelers? Or the upper deck has been truly full.
