Upgrade on partner airlines?
I am CO Platinum and have flown only Co for 10+ years. If I fly United or US Air now that we are all Star Alliance, can I expect elite boarding and complimentary upgrades? Thank you very much.

Welcome to FlyerTalk!
You should get elite boarding (not the red carpet on UA but with the other elites after the red carpet) and 3x70# checked bags. On US you can also get some better seats, including exit rows, by calling and requesting them.
You are not entitled to F on either carrier nor E+ on UA for free. Reciprocity with UA, including E+ access, is coming later this year, but it is going to be a while yet.

CO and UA are expected to have a bilateral agreement later this year but nothing other than that.
