If I find a flight using expert mode that has seats available for XN (but none for X) and I have the United MPE but the availability doesn't show up in my account (connection issue) can I have an agent book it for me? Anybody know?

If showing "r" availability can a rpu be confirmed at booking or do I still have to wait until 24 hours before the flight (based on my status)?

Yes.

Don't need Expert mode for that. You can see on the seat maps.
All LAX-JFK are PS. No LAX-EWR are PS. (That changes in October.)
There are 2-3 LAX-EWR flights that have lie-flat business class, but they are not PS. You can tell which ones they are either by looking at the aircraft (757-200 is lie flat) or by looking at the seat map.

For some visuals:
This is a current EWR-LAX flight. It has lie flat, but it's not P.S.
4 rows of J, 7 rows of Y+


This is a current JFK-LAX flight. Lie flat and P.S.
7 rows of J, 8 rows of Y+

Where is the option, to check the fare classes in expert mode, on the new united website - I can't seem to find it ?

You can do it even when searching an award ticket on new site. Click on "Details" under the flight info on the left side. It's right next to "Seats".

Are there codes for UA partner's availability, or is it only for UA flights themselves ?

Is expert mode dead on the new site? I know you can see the fare class that's showing up in your searching by clicking details, but I can't find where it lists each fare class and how many seats are available in that class.

When I'm signed in I can see all the fare classes under details.

On the new site it works even in an award search. Just click "details".

Are you logged in? Have you enabled expert mode?
