upgrades on CO?
I am flying CO for the first time in years. I am wondering what the upgrade chances are vs UA upgrades as a Prem Executive.
I fairly frequently get my upgrades on UA.
Any tricks I should know about (ie checking in exactly 24 hrs in advance)?

Good to check-in at T-24 but not critical. Use your CO OP# if you've matched over to Gold.
If you get a cash buy-up offer while checking in that seems suspiciously cheap (like under $100), please post here, as it's likely an "error" that we're trying to help UA fix.

what is the route and day of the week? Those will be the biggest factors.

I did enter my OP# into the Continental site.
I am on the upgrade wait list for the first flight but not on the second. It is < T-24, so I think it is a computer glitch or something, as I should just pop onto the list, correct?

Thanks. Still trying to get the hang of the new beast that UA/CO has become.

If so, its better if the OP asks all questions on one itinerary in one thread.

1P/GE has slim chance for TransCon as always.
