Using Connect Upgrades Certificates with UA
Hi! I'm trying to book a couple of flights next year in May with my partner, 1) SJO - BCN transiting in ORD and 2) BRU - SJO transiting in EWR and would like to use my global connect certificates (regional & global).
A couple of questions,
1. I saw in an earlier post that for the certificates to work you need to book from PTY. Is this correct? Does this mean I would have to book (A) SJO-PTY and PTY-ORD-BCN and (B) BRU-EWR-PTY & PTY-SJO?
2. Can I use the upgrade certificates for me and my partner if we're both in the same reservations
3. I checked on UAs website and for now PZ=0 in all those flights. What's are the odds that PZ>0 for those flights later?
Thanks for your help!

1) No, you do not need to book from PTY
2) Yes. To expand, can use for anyone - cert holder does not need to be on the reservation
3) gl
You might have an issue trying to use Certs that expire at the end of Feb, for a flight in May. YMMV with this

Can I use Connect Global Upgrade certificates if purchased award ticket in X class in UA metal?
I want to use it for a flight between BRU-EWR
Copa website says I cant use regional certificates with X class but says nothing regarding global certificates

As for # 3, yes, you can, and it's not YMMV. I have used certs ending this Feb for upgrades in the following March and September.
