I am looking to get 2 seats on the 11:25am UA flight TLV-EWR on 11/20. It looks like there are 15 seats open in business. Any chance of pulling a plan B or of them opening up saver biz? If I were to book a standard award can I still "wait list" for the business saver award?

Thanks all for your help.

I got waitlisted for "i" class is there a chance that I will get my business seat faster if I request to be waitlisted for "in" class?

Yes. But why should they wait-list you for IN? Though it happens some times. You might be lucky.

I came across this piece of info in some random FT website:
If the agent you speak with doesn’t know about this tell him or her to look up “DRS reference page MPWAI – Line 37″ in the computer system. That will provide all of the instructions needed to book your flight correctly.
I didn"t try it did anyone ever hear of this code?

Try it and let us know?

Since no one has answered that they have, I will tell you that I was unsuccessful this summer (pretty sure the details are in this thread)

Many people have gotten it. Unless youre on the plane in an economy seat, theres still a chance.

If I'm booked on a plan b leaving tomorrow, but don't see my name on the wait list, should I call in united or is this the norm?

If I book an economy ticket and pay the fee to add an infant (international), and than call to setup plan b, would they charge me more for the infant?
