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.

Thanks FL390 for sending the links: i'm in Los Angeles and both of the West Coast links worked instantaneously, and you're correct my cookies from before did not show. I tested my original link and thats still having issues.

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.

(Credit to Cliff for pointing this out to me.)

Picked a arbitary domestic flight in mid-May and saw this


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?

It seems to be missing from April 1 on for all Polaris routes that utilize aircraft with PP cabins (77W, 772).

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!!

CRJ-700 5490 is an express flight.

Yes, that's the confusion. Here's how it shows on the Cable pick site:

Side note, but you get wifi and PDE on the CRJ-700.

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 ...

For this flight, cablepick cannot not display the seatmap, but the First Upgrade Standup List shows 1/6 booked. 737 would have 16 first seats. It is more likely to be the CRJ.
