March 27, PVG-SFO. $1,300 G Class ticket.

Buy-up offer: $5,800 for PE, $8,100 for J.

Total price: original fare + buy up = $7,100 for PE, $9,400 for J.

However, if you buy ticket for the same flight, PE fare is $3,300 and J fare is 5,500.

This is insane. :rolleyes:

I would "like" this post but it's not working for me.

I have liked it for you.

Purchased a LAX-DEN upsell offer for $149. Best value offer I have seen in a long time, especially since only middle E+ seats were available when I ticketed!

$838 for Y->PP on SFO-TPE and $599 for NRT-SFO

Traveling ORD- HNL tomorrow. Yesterday I was offered PP>F (Polaris on a 787-10) for $577. Snapped that one up and even managed to snag a solo "L" seat.

Does checking in on your phone prevent you from getting offers at check in at the airport? I feel like I've gotten offers while checking my bags on the kiosk but I can't remember for sure. My flight TPA-EWR has an upgrade available for $199 which isn't bad (but not great), but since it's a relatively short flight and only 5 seats are taken in first I was hoping it might drop a bit at check in.

Check at the kiosk again before going to either the counter or through security - if there's seats available up front, you'll get the latest. It may not be great but it is what it is.

When I had checked 2 weeks ago, the upgrade price was like $1500.

Maybe I'll go buy a lottery ticket now.

Seems most probably a glitch of some sort as such price three months ahead of time is largely unreported. Even at the day of travel, I suspect such an offer would be rare. Personally, I would not post about such a bargain until after I have taken the flight...

Don't see any issues. It's a data point, glitch or otherwise.

Just curious, international or domestic? In my experience when applying a MUA on domestic I still see the cash upgrade price, but not on TATLs.

I have PP applied to a TPAC (SFO-SIN) and the app is still showing the upgrade price.

These days if the app doesn't show an upgrade price, I assume it's because UA's not selling the buy-up. You can still upfare using change flights though (which I successfully did in this situation on a domestic flight just last week, reticketing in Z for the lowest F differential).
