I have a RT ticket one way is W class and one way is H. When I check my reservation online I don't have the option of changing seats (and even not to take an economy comfort seat).

I called up United to try to upgraded miles+$ but I got confused answers from the reps, one rep told me that it's a bulk ticket etc. one rep told me that i am able.

Are these classes upgradeble ?


TIAFYH/A
Check the website for the upgrade rules, W/H has different amount of points + co-pays for the upgrade, plus there needs to be upgrade space

But that happens.

I didn't know they would zero out anything less than H and then as the flight gets closer add seats in cheaper buckets.

Most often happens exactly opposite.

Looking for award seats from NYC to either SEA or PDX end of summer. What are chance that XN will open up? Are chances better when there are more than 40 revenue seats open on many of these flights?
