1K cleared Hub-Hub (LAX-SFO) 6PM to Midnight (8PM flight)
1P cleared Hub-Hub (LAX-SFO) 6PM to Midnight (8PM flight)
Both cleared 4 hours before departure on an A319. We were on a L fare.
I'm reluctant to even include this, because it was a Saturday flight on a low-competition route. But it does suggest that the chart might be better broken down by routes that are known to be high/low competition, and/or by aircraft that are known to be competitive or not.

2P UDU Fail
3/21/2010
UA 627
6am
OMA-ORD
A320
Reservation booked prior to 3/19, called added to waitlist, reservation showed waitlist, but no battlefield UDU.
GA stated 2 F seats open with a 1K and two 1Ps ahead of me.
All UA flights out of OMA on 3/21 were 0'd out as the NCAA Wrestling Championships hosted by the Omaha Sports Commission and the
University of Nebraska, Lincoln were held at Qwest Center's Arena. So I figured I had little to no hope of a UDU unless some GS or 1K wasn't able to clear security in time or overslept.

ORD-SAN
March 19th.
Called in the morning to be put on upgrade list manually. At the gate monitor 4 names on the list with 2 avail seats in First. My name not on the list. 30 min from boarding asked the GA for status and she said I wasnt on the list. She put my name on and checked the monitor and now I was #2 on the list of 5 people with 2 available seats. Sorry to whoever I pushed down. Got my upgrade!!!

I have some very mixed emotions on what i witnessed last night at ord, i was ug to C on ua253, and was one of the last to board and when i got on board i noticed that a gate agent was in the process of downgrading 2 passengers to E which i notice later was 17HJ, from what i hear in the conversation between the agent and the 2 downgraded passengers was that 2 passengers from a intl flight had missed the earlier den flight and i assume had C or dom F seats to denver and since these 2 passengers were comped and a premier that they had to go back to E, i realize ual has to protect the revenue but this could turn out to be a pr mess imho, i can only hope they did it based on status and fare code,and the 2 that were waiting on the jetway actually were fare paying (c,j,z or d) tickets.

After reading that there may be a glitch in the system if you requested an upgrade before UDU, I called GS. Indeed there is a minor glitch.
ORD-LAS
UA0547 9:45 am
Thursday, March 25
No upgrade requested according to her records.
She cleared the upgrade while on the phone. ^
And to answer the question about the other upgrade I received on Friday, it was ORD-STL.
