orig fare class:S Price: $410 Offered at:30 days ahead Accepted:No Already in economy plus. No way is an upgrade in a CRJ700 worth $410. Also, when I take the price of my original ticket, then add $410 each way for the upgrade it comes out the same price as just buying the 1st class seat in the first place!!!!!:eek: |

I booked a flight today DEN-MSP, E fare. Before confirming my purchase, the pop-up window asked me if I'd like to UG for $59 outbound and $69 return. As my company will only pay for Y fares, I can't pull the trigger at this point as it will show that I bought a Z or similar fare. I buy the E fare ticket and then proceed to the "Buy-Up to First" option on the itinerary. My offer is now $121 outbound and $268 return. What a difference 3 minutes makes...

Prix-fixe upgrade
what route: ORD-FRA
original fare bucket: P price offered: $829 PCU/UFC? UFC Where it was offered/accepted: Mobile app Accept it or deny it? Deny Due to shifting schedule I've been using SDC to switch flights (7x so far) since last Saturday, sometimes to a non-stop, sometimes a connection. Regardless of the itinerary the mobile app offered the same $829 upgrade each time there was space in GF. Ironically, the flight I've finally decide to take is full in GF. |
what route DEN-IAD
original fare bucket T price offered $159 PCU/UFC? Both at this price. Where it was offered/accepted? OLCI and App Accept it or deny it? Accept This is roughly the fare difference at booking between the cheapest and P class. I actually thought that I had applied a regional upgrade but had not. Then after T-24 it was too late. I was in 10th spot for a CPU (!). There was only one seat left on the flight. I would have been able to get it with the regional since it was R1 P1. I think there were only 4/12 who had upgraded the flight. Things have changed a lot since old days. Now you can buy a discounted F class ticket for $700 on this route. I the old days it would have been >$1000. I think it can be quite difficult to get upgrades with CPU on this route for a 1K. |

Same flight, checking in at same time, me=1K, colleague=no status
what route: SFO-LAX original fare bucket: me=H, colleague=Q price offered: me="F is Full", colleague=$69 PCU/UFC? UFC Where it was offered: online I've been on the receiving end of differing prices, but not on availability before. FWIW, a quick check on the mobile app upgrade list indeed shows 1F seat still available, yet UA deems I am not worthy to be offered it. :td: |
