UA selling the last F seat on EWR-LAS at $289...surprising since that is the same price I was offered when I first bought the ticket. Also surprised since they could probably get more for it as well. I declined since I’m flying with a buddy who is a kettle.

PHL-IAD (1 hour gate-to-gate), $79.00 with one seat left on the CRJ-700.
Died at #2 on the upgrade list of 33 people (1K on a relatively high fare). Was more than comfy in 7C for this quick up-and-down flight.

Happy 1st of July weekend!
Couple of announcements:
James
Couple of announcements:
- The United Upgrade offers spreadsheet has been updated to this point (i.e. from mid-2017 to present)
- I'll have less time to commit to FT over the coming months as I'm starting at Masters program in the Fall in the UK. Unless someone PMs me to offer to maintain this spreadsheet it will be updated less regularly
- Is there any interest in the following projects:
- "Importing" additional upgrade offer deals from prior years (i.e. 2016 and 2015)?
- Tracking J/F availability from OLCI-24 to taxi out on the most popular UA routes (to better strategically determine which routes and schedules to book for getting maximum upgrade magic?)

For the TPA-IAD flight listed above with an Upgrade Offer at booking and running thru T-25 hours at $1,179 per passenger suddenly dropped to $129 per PAX at 2 minutes before T-24 hours. Pulled the trigger for 2 of us. I can't find the post from the Experts that explain the pricing and volatility of United Upgrade Offers. $1,179 to $129 ?? Really ??

UNITED AIRLINES UPGRADE - how to
Good afternoon All, I don't really post much here but I do hover around reading the great posts that you all post.
I'm flying from Heathrow to Denver tomorrow and coming back to Heathrow on the 6th July.
Sadly I could not afford the $9000 business class seat because of my bad back and was hoping they do a "hey upgrade to business now" like BA do. I know some of you great people work for airlines or have close connections with airlines and was wondering if someone could find out a price for the upgrade for both flights? I booked the trip with Ebookers and they say to "call United Airlines" and United say "call Ebookers as you booked it with them".
I've no idea why both seem to make it difficult to find out.
Kind regards,
Lee

That said, welcome to Flyertalk! Stick around as there is plenty to learn. Also, your question belongs in the United Airlines Forum, so don't be surprised when its moved to that forum.
