Booking Process:
Well it was just usual searching for flights for Spring Break. I was hoping UA would have the cheapest avalible because I love them so much. And what do you know, they did! So I purchase the tickets for April 12th for SMF-SFO SFO-SNA flight. Good deal of $98.00. However to get to SMF I flew SWA on April 4th SNA-SMF non-stop. This ticket was $79.80. Good deals I would say!

I called United to make sure that my upgrade had confirmed. I usually call them to get in to F class before the 48 hour usual clearing time. I got seat 1A! YAY!! I know this is going to sound really bad, but I put an F class reservation on hold until the day I fly out to make sure I have the row to myself. I know, I am horrible. :/ sorry for those of you who may have been on my flight and didn’t get an upgrade when there was an empy seat left. :/ I feel bad…

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATE ON FLIGHTS... CHECK BACK APRIL2

That's absolute rubbish. Crap like this is probably exactly why UA eliminated the hold feature. Thanks a ton.

Does this work though? it probably will just get filled at the gate.

After reading this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...t-flagged.html

... I don't know whether to laugh (because it is quite funny, after all) or cry (at wasting 10 minutes of my time reading it).

Either way, obviously we're not going to hear back from the OP anytime soon. I'd be surprised if even a single word of what the OP typed is actually true.

Kids these days, eh?

No, this would not work. United fills paid F seats if the passenger doesn't show, which is why it doesn't mean that much when a GA says F has "checked-in" full. What's important to know is if everyone has shown up and taken their seats in F.

Anyway, UA most definitely fills unpaid F seats ones if there are people willing to support the upgrade.

And don't forget the NRSAs It's hilarious watching some of them waiting in line for the Supershuttle after flying in P.S. F
