How does upgrade work ?
New to premier status (i am silver), flying tomorrow to Guatemala city.
How does upgrade work ?
I have checked in.
For my different segments it shows i am first in the waitlist :
YOW-ORD United Business®: 6 | Booked: 5 | Checked In: 2
ORD-IAH United First®: 16 | Booked: 14 | Checked In: 2
IAH-GUA United Business®: 16 | Booked: 12 | Checked In: 0
Do i have any good chance of being upgraded on any of the segments ?

once you are checked in you can see your status (e.g. #80 for 1 remaining seat) on the upgrade list online. 1-4 seats left doesn't look good for a silver.

As a Silver, in a word, no. Here's the thread you want to familiarize yourself with:

I'm assuming you're the COR,M on 1502 tomorrow night. Follow the list here: https://mobile.united.com/FlightStat...ghtNumber=1502. I wouldn't hold your breath but the IAH-GUA might happen.

The most likely upgrade would be on IAH-GUA, but with only four seats open, your chances are very low.
Note that passenger names do not appear on the visible waitlist until they check-in, so your current position as number 1 is likely to change as more passengers check-in.
