I bought a PE ticket LAX-SFO-FRA for this summer, and put in for an upgrade. I happened to check united.com a few weeks (months?) later, and noted that because of changes in departure times for both LAX-SFO and SFO-FRA, they had rerouted me (through IAD?), on a flight without PE. I am not sure why, since the connection time was the same through SFO, just different arrival/departure times. I called United and told them I wanted my original flights and seats.. The agent fixed it all right then.
And within 24 hours I got an email saying I had been upgraded (to the new Polaris). Would you guess this had anything to do with the mess up with my original routing? |

It's not a nonstop premium, it's a deep discounted SK fare that can only be sold on SK stock. You can't get that fare from UA no matter how stops you're willing to make :D |

This happened to me as well. Just called the 1K line to try to get it back, but was told by the agent that it looks like my upgrade "cleared" (most likely because I was booked into R to begin with. They told me to call MP service center tomorrow when they're open...

Is there a big difference between the Premium Plus seat and the Economy Plus seat (with an empty middle seat) ?
I have an upcoming trip with the following flights: EWR-SFO (Business) and SFO-PVG (Economy Plus), but I could use the same-day change for the following flights instead: EWR-ORD (Economy) and ORD-PVG (Premium Plus seat). Would that be worth it to change to get the Premium Plus seat on the 14h flight to China? |

Not to be snarky, but why do you think you'll get an empty middle in E+?

It's more of an assumption than a guarantee, but on my last 4 trips to China this year with United I always got either an empty middle seat or even an entire row to myself in E+. Also, for my next trip this week, EconomyPlus is about 1/6 full. Maybe I'm just lucky ! |

Also, for those of us who need to be careful to make certain status levels, the extra PQM can help for not that much more especially when I'm spending my own $$. |

I'm doing a quick MR ($291 r/t) next week EWR-LAX, outbound on a 787-10 and was able to get 21 J in PP. As Gold, I was able to easily select the PP seat at no extra cost, does that mean it "may be taken away from me" to upgrade a higher level passenger prior to my flight ? And assuming I do get to keep it, will I be served breakfast or should I bring my own? (My return is on a 752 - 10D)
