Traveling in PP (R fare) as a 1K on a high J 763 TATL.
PP is showing full on app but UA is still selling at least 9 R fare tickets online.
Polaris is showing 27/46 with 3 blocked.
How are my chances of an op-up? Does it make a difference if I stay at the UA Club until boarding or should I hang around the gate? Thanks!

The overbook is only 3 and there may be some no shows or cash upgrades.
Give there are multiple ways to clear up the overbook, I would not give the op-up chances too high. Not impossible, just not probable.

Edit: I should add that UA has not opened up PZ space yet.

Nevertheless, good luck!

I'm Gold and flying ORDLHR tonight in Premium Plus which is overbooked. For an op up, would a 1K in regular economy get the bump up to Polaris, or would they go by cabin, then status. I fully plan on flying PP. Just curious.

There's probably a 1K in PP so likely moot.
But I would tend to assume they would OP up from PP first, by status. While not necessarily true, most of those pax likely have paid more for their ticket than those in Y.

I think I just got op up'd on a BRU-IAD flight yesterday. I originally bought economy tickets for me and P2, booked into deep discounted K class. A few weeks later I saw PP seats available for $247 each as an upsell, that rebooked farecode into PP R fare class. I am at a cafe in the airport and I get a text saying that I was upgraded about an hour and a half before boarding. Went to gate to make sure P2 was also upgraded and we received two new boarding passes in Polaris next to each other.
I'm only silver through Marriott's partnership but what a nice surprise. PP seat map showed full but economy had a bunch of open seats left on seatmap. Wonder if they oversold PP.
