ORD-MSP 3/20 "V" Fare one way, $172.90 all in. Offered First for $69.00 at booking. Went back to check the details a few minutes later for this post, a banner on the reservation offers upgrades to first "from $67.00." Clicked it, the offer was indeed $67.00 to me. Did I just read the first screen wrong?

United could consider selling non-refundable options in addition to confirmed seats once the flight nears or reaches capacity, then hold an open outcry auction at the gate, with different auctions for each cabin. Really want/must have a seat up front? Keep bidding until you win. Have no money? Maybe there will be enough no-shows and the last seats will go for the option price. And think of the entertainment value, much more fun watching six travelers duke it out for the last E+ seat on a packed transcon than escalating offers to induce someone to give up a seat. The possibilities are endless.

Declined.

SNA-DEN-STL (DEN-STL cleared)for tomorrow...SNA-DEN offered $169 for F. declined. thought about it. currently #12 out of 21 on the list. not too worried about it since i am in row 7.

$7 to upgrade to first
 

My company pays for coach, and then I usually buy up to F on my own.

IAH-DEN-IAH in an H fare..... After it ticketed by my travel agent, I went into UA.com and was able to upgrade for $7 each way... Now showing a P fare.

Not going to complain about that!

likely the OW delta from HA0KY to V2UP14N3
a common cause as noted in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...iscussion.html

I dunno - sounds like a good reason to complain to your company/travel agents and get them to price paid First v's Economy and pay the difference if/when it's so small...

don't know the answer to this -- but appears this would change a refundable fare to non-refundable? correct?

EWR-MCO G fare Offered Y>F for $219 at t-2 at airport Kiosk...ended up 3 on the upgrade list.

You'd rather have the other folks in your reservation pay more than you?

Do you also want them to have less baggage allowance and pay for E+?
