More specifically, at least the two benefits to which all Star Alliance (*A) Silver members are entitled, Priority Reservations Waitlist and Priority Airport Stand-by. UA also offers several benefits to its MileagePlus™ Premier Silver members, such as Economy Plus (E+) seating at check-in, that it does not offer to other *A Silver members. Those two benefits that all *A Silver members receive are set forth on the *A website:

Priority Reservations Waitlist

If at the time of reservation, seats in your desired class of service are not available, your status gives you higher priority on the waitlist when a reservation is possible, except when you are travelling on an award ticket.

Please note that Priority Reservations Waitlist is subject to individual member carrier’s policy and legal regulations.

Priority Airport Stand-by

If your travel plans change and flights are full, your status gives you higher priority on the standby list for your preferred flight, except when you are travelling on an award ticket.

Please note that Priority Airport Standby is subject to individual member carrier’s fare conditions and legal regulations.
