A favor to ask of a Silver Premium
I am interested in 2 business class award tickets from PHX to AMS (to attend the USA / Netherlands friendly soccer match with my son). Depart 6/4, return 6/7. There is no saver availability. I am Silver with US and could do a status match with US. I believe Silver premium have access to more saver award availability.
Before I go through that process, I was wondering if a silver preferred could have a look for me and let me know if anything is available to you?
Thanks!

For business class, enhanced availability - to the extent it exists - is available only to Premier Platinum, 1K, and GS.
Europe in June is a tough order. To have any chance of finding saver award space, you want to check availability daily.

Are you sure you didn't mean to post this to the US Airways forum?
US Airways and United are no longer partners.

OP is silver US and stated he would status match to US (but obviously meant UA) to get access to enhanced elite availability for awards if something were open. I think this isn't a feasible idea to begin with, but i digress.

As a 1K I don't see any Saver J for two travelers PHX to AMS, FRA, BRU or CDG. Also the Saver Y is very limited. Bad time of year to try. As mentioned, UA Silver or Gold does not have access to expanded Saver in premium cabins.

I think OP is inquiring to see if it would be worth matching his US Silver to UA Silver if the ticket is available to UA Silvers. Not sure if it would be worth using his or her match on, given that a status match is only allowed once every 5 years or something like that.
