Something weird is going on.
Applied PP to waitlist a good friend's flight to Europe, booked in K class. Later he said that it's OK to sit in Y since there are lot of empty Y seats and he might get a row for himself.
Upgrade request is withdrawn. The PNR does not show "upgrade requested".
But somehow he is still on the upgrade list (flight is tomorrow). How could this happen?
Would UA give him a free upgrade? J is wide open with 25/50 booked and only 10 people are waitlisted for upgrades.
