RE:iad-sfo upgrades
I did this one last week as part of a 4 segment sfo-cdg-sfo trip. 3 segments cleared early on SWU's when I booked in mid-December. The iad-sfo segment cleared on-line 48 hours out.
However, I didn't get a seat assignment until 2 minutes before boarding. First time I've ever had a DM card that showed a cleared upgrade, but no seat. I assumed I was getting the new configuration, and this proved to be true. The schedule is apparently sfo-iad, 5 iad-fra turns, then another iad-sfo run.
UA definitely seems more concerned with SA and buy-up passengers than 1K upgrade instruments in the lower fare classes. y-c upgrade.
