Hey Guys,
Question? I have no status currently with United (working my way there) as I just started flying more this year. My boyfriend has United Premier 1K and I have a flight to Chicago (YYC-ORD) on May 30th, and the return flight is back to Calgary through San Francisco (ORD-SFO-YYC), the ORD-SFO flight is fairly long and they're using a B777-200 so my boyfriend used one of his Regional Premier Upgrades for me on my return flight. The second segment (SFO-YYC) is confirmed, however, the first segment (ORD-SFO) says 'upgrade requested' and I am wait listed. There are 21 seats available in Business class on this flight, so I am just wondering why I am wait listed first of all, and second, what are the chances I will be cleared and get a seat in business class on that flight? As I understand they go off my status? Which I don't have yet. |

Can I apply my GS RPU/GPU to someone else's XN ticket (where ticket was "purchased" using their RDMs, not mine)?

I have applied a RPU (from a 1K) for BOS-SFO on a Monday 7AM departure in June. Any idea on the odds clearing...50/50?

Anything with SFO in it is hit and miss for 1Ks in my 'umble opinion.

Trying to see if this seems normal:
I applied an RPU to a flight IAH-SFO on an H fare ticket. I didn't clear the waitlist at T-24 and after checking in I'm #14 out of 33 on the list as a 1K. I've applied an RPU on this route before that typically get the upgrade or it puts me in at least the top 5 on the list. I know it's hub-hub with a lot of elites but does it look strange that i'm so far down the list with an RPU as 1K? If it makes any difference, I had to call the 1K desk to check myself in because it wouldn't let me online. Could something the rep did potentially negate my RPU? My SFO-IAH flights are on Sundays between 6am and 8:45am. My 2015 RPU upgrade percentage is 9%. Yes, that is 9%. My fares are H, E, U, V and W. I am usually in positions 8 through 12 on the upgrade list. My IAH-SFO flights on Thursdays are either at 6pm or 7pm. My 2015 RPU upgrade percentage is ZERO. 0%! Again, my fares are H, E, U, V and W. I am usually in positions 10 through 20 on the upgrade list. My 2014 RPU upgrade percentage for a combined SFO-IAH and IAH-SFO was 19%. Lately I have started taking Delta flights. DL is a much more enjoyable flight experience. And, as a DL Silver and now Gold, I have been upgraded several times between SFO and ATL! |
So I used two GPUs for myself and my mother from PHL to TPE (connecting in SFO), leaving next Monday, and we were both upgraded from SFO - TPE about a month and a half ago. Yesterday, my PHL - SFO segment upgrade just got confirmed but my mother's did not, even though I applied the GPUs at virtually the same time. Granted, I am 1K and she is only Silver but I also applied these GPUs way before April 15th, when GPUs applied were still based on the status of the one applying them, not the status of the person on the receiving end. Shouldn't my mother's PHL - SFO segment have cleared when mine cleared yesterday? Should I call United?

Not if there was only 1 seat to be cleared. You can call and ask if there is another R seat available, but you can also just check online. If not, nothing to be done.

SWU at time of booking
I'm looking at booking BRU-LAX return in W and using SWU's to upgrade. Availability shows R9 BRU-ORD and ORD-BRU and R0 ORD-LAX and LAX-ORD. Can I book the ticket and use SWU's to instantly upgrade the transatlantic, and get waitlisted on the transcont, or will I not be able to upgrade until the entire itinerary clears?

GPU on airport change?
If I book SFO-JFK/EWR-DUB (fared as a single SFO-DUB fare) can I apply a single GPU to upgrade both legs?
|
This is perfectly fine.

This morning looks at DEn-PHL and back. Looking at options, no R on the directs- but lots of F seats 737-900- and little in Y---- Middle E- return and a E+ middle there. The Y ticket is expensive, the listed F options on UA.com are pretty close- so I bet I get a pretty good offer after purchase. I get a good offer on DEN-PHL, but no option on the PHL-DEN.
After booking I go to put RPU on it, I have one that didn't clear and not sitting middle on a 4+ hour return is worth it to me. When I bring the upgrade page up, it give me a RPU and a miles option for up to three seats? Apply the RPU and get confirmed. I just checked tonight and there are a couple of R seats now. Did R inventory open between me buying the ticket and applying the RPU? |
Can you use different accounts for instrument on the same itinerary?
Hi All,
Is it possible to have RPU / GPU applied from one account on one way and another account for return for all members on PNR? If not, will best approach to break down the PNR for members? I am concerned about IRROPS in this case. Thanks. |
