Access to E+ Seating on UA Flight
I just booked a r/t through the CO Elite Desk 800# for me, my wife and and our 2 small kids. The outbound flight is operated by UA and the return flight is by CO. For the return flight, the CO person put all 4 of us in the CO "plus" seating based on my Silver status. For the outbound, since it is a UA flight, the CO person did not have access to UA's seat map and told me to call UA directly.
UA is telling me only me and 1 companion can get E+ seats now, not all 4 of us as per CO rules, and to ask at the airport for upgrade on day of flight. I thought the CO and UA rules have merged so that I was treated the same regardless of which status and which plane. Who's right here? |
It is always metal based. UA 2p (equivalent to your silver status) can only bring one person in to e+. You can ask nicely and hope that the gate agent will do that for you, however, they are under no obligation to do so.

Purchase E+
Given that you are travelling with small kids, I would not risk waiting to the gate. Depending on the flight, there may be no E+ by that time. Better to purchase the E+ supplement for the kids and have all 4 of you together or don't purchase and have them move the 2 of you back to E- (or figure out whether there may be seats in E+ and E- close enough for comfort.
Remember, E+ doesn't do much for small kids because all it does is give you extra pitch. |
I must have mis-heard the interim rules. Just like the extra room since I'm taller and I also like the front 1/2 of the plane if possible.

The front 1/2 of the plane on any CO planes has ZERO extra legroom at all, just like the back 1/2 of the plane, except bulkhead and exitrow.
