Yeah I'm not 100% what's going on. I have no issues expect on one of my two iphones. I think there is an issue with the anycast routing that drives the main name and I will have to work that out with my provider.
Here are direct links to the servers behind the main site. I haven't had any issues with these loading. If you use one of these i would just pick one. The cookies that track your history won't work across different sever addresses.

Perhaps you want to clear your cookies for cablepick.net. It might be trying to route you to a server that is difficult to reach from your current location (?).

Update: The original link that I've always used is working perfectly today and looks like FL390 fixed it real fast. Thank you! Safe travels

So the tool no longer pulls up the "Upgrades" tab on flights post-April 1. That's the date UA introduces PE fares, and I suspect there's a link.

Saw the same view for a SFO-BOS flight
Now neither had PP equiped aircraft, so checked a PP flight and it is missing but as there will again needed to be two waitlists, then there would have to be two tabs, so it may be gone or it may be a transitions state to getting two tabs???
Not being gone on non-PP makes it harder to understand what is happenig or if this is the right thread?

UA had no problem displaying the two tabs when GF was a separate class of service, so assume they just need to update the display for PP.
This seems the natural thread, as currently it's only an issue if you're using the future flight status tool.

Cablepick.net vs United Seat Map
Hi Everyone - quick question on the cablepick.net seatmap vs United reservations seatmap and which is more accurate?
https://www.cablepick.net/united
7/21/19 flight 5490 LAX-BZN. My reservation or trying to book now on United shows this as a CRJ-700. Cablepick shows it as a 737-800. Obviously the 800 would be great, with entertainment and wifi. The flight is only 2 1/2 weeks out.
TIA!
- Tom

Thats a good question I thought cablepick just scraped United data. I use it for upgradable issues all the time and really like what they offer. Unbelievable what this guy is doing pro bono!!

I’ve discussed this with the guy running the Cablepick site and he is just relaying United info. The problem is that United seems to store flight information in at least 2 different databases and those databases sometimes have different information for the same flight. I would bet the LAZ-BZN flight is the CRJ rather than a 737 but stranger things have happened ...
