What's been stated previously is that buy-ups are offered at all times, to buy up to the upgradable bucket or directly into the next cabin (YBM-ups), and that in cases where the upgrade waitlist (for revenue customers) is shorter than the number of F seats available, then cheaper buy-ups will kick in.
In your case, there is no published K fare for the EWR-SEA market standalone, but the difference between the lowest fare and the M, one-way, is just short of $400 - so in your case, this is an appropriate buy-up amount. |

Im assuming this a TOD upgrade. 1K SFO-ORD on Q fare. Check three days out, RN=0, Buy up to first $804. Same two days out. Now within T-24, RN=2 and upgrade offered at $219. If buy up to first yesterday was $804, where is $219 comning from ?

The difference between published Q and M on that route is $300. Was this purchased through a corporate travel program? If so the $219 might be the difference between the Q and the M.
UA249 SFO-PHL 1K on a T fare Previously, I was offered an upgrade in the $900 range. Still waitlisted, R0, with 12 booked (+10 blocked?) and was just offered a TOD for $189. |
I just wanted to drop a quick note to thank you guys for keeping on topic and providing the in-depth information. There is certainly an interesting mix of TODs, legitimate buy-ups, and other things posted here, and I hope that we can continue to accumulate and learn from what is posted here without the noise making it difficult to find the actual data.

EWR-SEA 1K K Fare $409 For the past week, .bomb has offered me the chance to upgrade for $700~. This morning, I did OLCI through the iPhone app, and was offered the upgrade to F for $409. I'm #2 on the list, so I'm hopeful that UDU will clear. I thought these are only supposed to be offered if all elites are expected to clear? :confused: http://friendlyskies.smugmug.com/pho...-NWtkrTZ-L.jpg Awesome to see that there are 16 people on the upgrade list, but COdbaUA would rather sell the upgrade. I'm flying with two others (1K & 2P), and they got the same offers. I'd be curious to see what a GM is being offered. |

I checked in, found out flight was overbooked by 4 and was told by the agent there was one last seat left in F, while standing in the security line, I decided to buy the upgrade from my iPhone, I still have my boarding pass for a confirmed economy seat), but after the purchase was confirmed, I could no longer choose that last F seat. Went to the club, they couldn't assign me a seat either saying I'm on the oversell list for First. Was this supposed to happen?
I plan to volunteer anyway but now that I don't have a confirmed F seat, can I still volunteer? --------------------------------- Update post flight: The last F pax somehow didn't show up so i couldn't volunteer to be bumped down to coach as originally asked by the gate agent. And all of the sudden, coach was no longer overbooked. Breakfast was good at least and a 3-hr sleep was nice, whether that was worth $128, not so sure. |

UA1673 EWR->BOS 4/11 2:30pm
being offered TOD buy-up for $79 at online&mobile checkin I'm on a W ticket, this is the 2nd leg after LHR->EWR, which I upgraded using a GPU and so I was waitlisted for the EWR->BOS flight until I guess check-in opened. |
4/7: TPE-NRT in E+ on a K fare was offered an upgrade to First for $454.00. The plane was a new configured 777. According to the seat map, C was full and one empty seat in F.
Of course I didn't take the upgrade, especially for such a short flight. |

MCO-EWR PMCO 757-200 with BF seating Offered $459 kiosk upgrade. EF showed F3 left to sell. No thanks. |

TODs are insulting enough, but to solicit a TOD for an OVERSOLD cabin is inexcusable. |
