What farecodes are NOT upgradable to Prem+? I find the UA.com info confusing. Are they S, T, K, L, G & N? Would that make the lowest eligible code U? Thanks again. |

All fare classes are eligible for upgrade to PE using a GPU, except that all Basic Economy fares (any rbd) are not eligible for upgrade.
This is what is shown on the UA.com "Upgrade Overview" page (my emphasis added) (https://www.united.com/web/en-us/content/mileageplus/awards/upgrade/default.aspx?POS=US#cpriority): For regions with a https://www.united.com/web/format/im...llet_10x10.png*, Global Premier Upgrades are not available on flights booked in fare classes S, T, K, L, G or N. Basic Economy fares and Economy (first bag charge/no changes allowed) fares are not eligible for any type of upgrade.
It's the "upgrade-eligible" that I find confusing. Based on the first paragraph, that might exclude more than basic economy (N). But if this has been clarified by UA as stated in the post above, great. Not that I find the prospect of PE that appealing. But if a flight has PE, those who purchase it get 1st crack at upgrade to C. I didn't find any thread with PE upgrade experiences. If there is one, I'd appreciate the link. |

Thanks! (BTW, what does "any rbd" mean?)

RBD is 'reservation booking designator', which is a less ambiguous (although more abstruse) term than is 'fare class', the phrase UA typically uses.

Seems that not everybody/every system knows that R is no longer an upgrade code. I recently bought a PP fare which booked into R. Last night I received a call from UA about needing to "verify some information" about the trip. The agent I spoke with determined that somebody notated my booking with "how is the flight being upgraded?". A supervisor confirmed that somebody mistook my R fare for an upgrade.

Can someone help me understand how to processing of CPU's work
I see PN5 and PZ2 for my flight We're within the 48 hour window of a flight I'm a Premier Gold Should it auto-upgrade us since there is space or is there something I don't know? Thanks! |

No. PZ space is not sufficient for a CPU to run; you are just at the mercy of the computer (and there could easily be Plats and possibly 1Ks still ahead of you).
And now it shows PN2 and PZ0 |
Premium Eco Upgrade Booking class
Hi - apologies if this is explained somewhere but with the new PE rolli gbout I was wondering if you know what booking class needs to be available for a GPU to clear into PE? Does it automatically clear if PE (R/A) is open? it only waitlists into Business if fate class is W or higher I assume thanks |
