Shocker

Fare: W
Y-C
Cleared at 96 hours.
The shock was the seat map was showing only two open seats in C. Was expecting at best an upgrade at the gate.

DEN-NRT
Fare: W
Didn't get outbound, so I'm hoping return I'll get it, but I'm not holding my breath. It's a 787, which was 'nice'--definitely nicer than the previous, seat-wise.
Will never understand why UAL can't clear an empty seat for 1Ks. I will NEVER, EVER understand this.

1. DEN-EWR-BOM
2. 3/2/2014
3. Booked in Q
4. Y-C
5. Booked about 30 days before departure
6. DEN-EWR didn't clear. EWR-BOM cleared just before boarding. I was 2nd on the upgrade list. Lightly loaded Y, I think I could have had a three seat to my self if I hadn't upgraded.
My first international lay flat experience. I didn't think I was going to get it since it took so long to clear, and when I checked in it offered to upgrade me for $5,000. Not usually a good sign.

So, I've used up all 6 GPU's I got. (don't ask me how or why) Now, I should wait until I qualify for 1K again later this year? Is there any other way to get upg?
