FlyerTalk Forums - Expert Mode: opt-in to see upgrade visibility/fare bucket data/Issue staying enabled?

Feb 2023: Many reports that Expert Mode checkbox is being disabled automatically / randomly (in some cases, repeatedly), and users have to opt back in on the website to re-enable Expert Mode.

Note on 18 Oct 2018 the fare class for upgrades changed from R to PZ
Changes to UA's Fare Classes (19-20 October 2018)

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you know that we’ll be re-launching Expert Mode as an opt-in feature later this afternoon. This feature will display all fare classes when shopping for flights on united.com. You can opt-in to this feature by logging into your MileagePlus account and following these steps:

Go to united.com > My Account
Select “Manage Profile”
In the Preferences section, select “View All Flight Search Preferences”
In the Expert Mode section, read and acknowledge the customer advisements
Click “Save” at the bottom of the page

As always, thanks for your feedback and patience over the last couple weeks while we worked to make these changes.

Shannon
