Now I can finally look into booking a trip to HKG. That used to be one of the hardest routes to get confirmed in advance.

My June SFO NRT just cleared, finally, as well.
Also, looks like the 747s will be back on 837/838 starting in early April!

In C, the 747 is much preferable to the 777 (the opposite is true in Y). Many 747s have been converted vs zero 777s, and even the old config 747 beats the 777 comfortably IMO.

IAD/BKK -- all segment upgrades cleared
My final upgrades IAD/BKK 5/13-5/21 cleared today. I have never had, after 10 trips to BKK, the NRT/BKK and return segments clear this early. In fact I think in every case upgrades were cleared a day or so in advance or at the gate.

It's almost as if UA has given up any hope of actually selling premium class seats on these routes. Grab them while they last!
(Mods: maybe change title of thread to emphasize the recent TPAC upgrade/award loosening?)

Our SFO-HKG-SIN and HKG-SFO SWU upgrades cleared today (for 2 of us!). SIN-HKG cleared yesterday, still waiting for DEN-SFO but it doesn't matter, I am happy. ^^^
