I'd wager that it doesn't.

Wowzers, lucky you! Go buy a lotto ticket.

Crazy that they CPUd the last 2 seats this far in advance, almost always turns into battlefield for the last couple seats IME as they hold them back for rev tickets/upgrades.

What's the deal with companion upgrades with UA? Are they as complicated as with DL that the premier member gets dragged down to the bottom of the list because he is waiting for the upgrade together with someone with no status? Or they will clear together with the premier member on his PNR?

What are the odds of getting upgraded (cash plus points) to business from economy on a paid flight on UA from ewr to tlv? Don't have status. One economy ticket is in K, the other is economy plus seating - not sure if that is K. Will I improve my odds if I wait to request the upgrade after getting the club card? Any other suggestions to boost priority on the wait list? Thanks!!

Good luck. Plus that upgrade rate is horrible.

1) Is it possible to move up on the list, or only down as people with higher status check in?
2) If you're with a companion who doesn't have status, will you be back to back numbers or companion will be much lower down?
