E+ seating on United.com
I was attempting to book a simple roundtrip this morning on united.com, SFO-LAX-SFO. When I got to the seat selection pop-up, there were no E+ seats available; strange, I thought.
So I checked random other dates in Jan., March. No E+ seats available to me. I am Premier, have been all year - could it just be a bug? I am logged in and using my profile for the booking.

I've yet to have a problem obtaining E+ seating. Always a breeze. I'm assuming that routing is united mainline, not xpress, right (xpress would not have E+)?

Also 2P, and a random check of next weeks flights showed plenty of E+ seats available.
If you want a particular itinerary and/or don't want to pay the phone fee, you could always book it online and then call to get the seats changed, since the issue is web-site related. Or wait for the inevitable schedule change

No problems here. I just looked at a random date in January. I second the notion of just booking and calling to adjust seats. Shouldn't be a problem, I do it all the time when corporate travel books my flights and I want different seats.

I can't remember the times but my bet is it's the first CRJ of the day, meaning early morning FAT-DEN, and late day DEN-FAT.
I agree...have flown them numerous times to connect elsewhere. Not as "fun" as the EM's going to SFO/LAX, but then the ride's a lot longer too...
Personally, I've gotten where I drive to SJC or SFO rather than fly out of FAT, unless the fare is only 20-30.00 more for the local. The car is a lot more comfortable.
Will definitely have to give the new X+ a try though....
