I haven' been on a SK flight since (i was supposed to be in C but someone screwed up) and i go to great lenghts to avoid SK since i strongly believe that their version of E+ should have been made free to elite *A members.
What made me think it was possible to get E+ was:
-It is an booked as a UA flight (9359) alltough on SK metal
-I got E+ ORD-ARN last time (without asking) when checking in att the UA counter in ORD.
It would certainly be nice if it was possible to snag a E+ seat this time to. I might imagine that it is easier to get E+ when you fly from the US due to the fact that UA staff are familiar with the concept of E+ for elites.
