I am a MileagePlus Premier® member (from being Marriott LT Plat) and was booking flights from WAS to LIH using points. Yesterday they were offering one way tickets for 12.5K (Exclusively available to you as a MileagePlus Premier® member). Today is back to 22.5K. But the 12.5K is offered from BOS to LIH today (not yesterday). In both cases I took advantage as I have family members flying from both WAS and BOS. But I missed booking with points for our rtn from Honolulu to WAS yesterday for 12.5K. Today is back to 24.5K.
My question is will these offer be back again or do i need to check daily?

Appears you found some XN inventory on those flights but it has all been used.
Will UA replenish? Perhaps, perhaps not. You will need to check regularly

I'm trying to book 7 pax from CLE-ORD-HNL in F, but the CLE-ORD leg is an E170 that only has 6 seats in First, so at least one of us obviously has to be in E on that leg.
The UA website seems unable to, and only offers a mixed-cabin ticket that puts all 7 of us in E for that leg (for the same per-ticket price as booking 6x directly into F)
Is it possible to book this on a single PNR if I call UA?

All passengers on a PNR must have the same flights, same fare class, ...
While being on the same PNR has some benefits, it is generally minimal. Elite bag allowance is probably the most meaningful and that can be manged by moving bags to those with the allowance and a few without.

Good afternoon. I realize that physical *G cards no longer exist. What experiences are members having access to non-UA lounges without a physical *G card? Backstory - I am flying ET using Lifemiles. I'd prefer the better *G lounge at ADD. The ET rep was unable to associate my UA # with the booking as it already has my AV #. Thanks!

Virtual card has been acceptable form of access since well before COVID.

As far as changing the FF account, best to do that with the issuing carrier but not all programs will do this.

Booked a 016 ticket with a LH segment. I upgraded the LH segment on lh.com. Now on UA, it shows the segment twice, once with the original class, the other with the upgraded class. On the app, under "trip details" not reservations, it lists two travelers (my name twice).
Anything that needs to be corrected? Don't want an agent/system dropping my upgraded segment or something

I have two upcoming flights SFO-EWR. I think originally they were scheduled on a 777 without premium economy though they have since been swapped for planes with premium economy. I can book a new ticket in premium economy for those flights, but for my existing tickets I only have a buy-up offer for F. Should I expect that to change at all as departure gets closer or is this some IT quirk?

Greetings everyone. I just booked on flight on United's website, and the charge has showed up as pending on my credit card. However, under the trip details section on the United website, it still says
and the purchase now just redirects to the website homepage. I also still haven't received the eTicket Itinerary and Receipt for Confirmation email that I normally get from United. Is this something that I need to call about? Or will it work itself out with some time? Thanks!
