"International Business class (but not BusinessFirst)" is eligible for an upgrade. What is the difference and how do you know if you are on an International Business Flight and not a BF flight? Also, I read somewhere that you can get complimentary upgrades to Australia. Did I read that right? |

International Business is the premium class on flights to Latin America, EXCLUDING flights to Brazil (which are BF). |

Again, the answer is in the FAQ. Read it. It will tell you everything you need to know. |
Info in FAQ seems to contradict CO's policy as stated on the phone

Yes and no. [/indent]... If you are close to the next tier and have an upcoming trip booked - on a non-refundable ticket - that will push you over to the next level then you have a VERY good chance of getting that status bump. Call the OPSC - not the elite line, but the OPSC! - and request the bump from them. Politely explain that you are close to the next level and that your next trip will put you over and that you'd like to take advantage of the benefits in advance if at all possible. The vast majority of folks making this request have had it granted. This is a temporary bump so you must actually make the flight in order to keep the status. But you are very likely to get the bump. |

A post in the FAQ says I'm 63 miles away from gold, and I have an upcoming non-refundable trip booked. I called to see if they could do anything for me, and the agent refused and seemed eager to get me off the phone. Perhaps the bump policy only applies between two status tiers, rather than between non-status and gold? I haven't yet tried the calling back and talking to someone different strategy because I didn't much care for the idea of listening to another twenty minutes of recordings telling me how great the United-Continental merger will be. |
Realized I misspoke about five minutes after posting but wasn't nearby to correct. I'm 63 miles away from silver, not gold.

Last year, I was in the same situation (on the 'cusp' of silver), & the OPSC agent was very accommodating & 'advanced' me the status & fortunately for me, it resulted in an EUA for the flt I was taking to attain actual 'earned' SE status!^ |

I called 713.952.1630, which is listed on the Continental "Contact Us" page as "OnePass frequent flyer assistance".

International standby upg priority
If we are waitlisted for a flight to China for 6 months and it does not clear 24 hours prior at check-in we are then put on a Flight Standby waitlist . What is the priority order for standby upgrade on an international flight? Does time of check-in or fare class play a role in priority or is it still Status and Time of Purchase?

AKA Where is there EliteAccess Security Screening?
Here's (part of) the answer:
Note: Any "clickable" airport will take you to a corresponding thread on the subject, should one exist. |
That EliteAccess security list can be re-jiggered for PHL with the blended D/E checkpoint having been completed. It is also a multi-airline premium passenger line, requiring an F BP or a :-:G credential to use.
