United’s New Unlimited Upgrades

When you travel United airlines, your upgrade experience is about to get easier: beginning March 19, 2010, for elite members, an upgrade request will automatically be placed on your behalf when you purchase domestic revenue fares for travel on United or United Express.

For elite members, an upgrade request is automatically placed on your behalf at the time your qualifying flight is purchased. Unlimited Domestic Upgrades are processed according to your Mileage Plus status and will show up in My Itineraries as “Upgrade pending” until your upgrade request is processed. If upgrade seats are unavailable, you will be automatically waitlisted for an upgrade. Upgrade seats are capacity-controlled and may not always be available.

Please review your current status below to see when your upgrade will be processed.

Global Services 120 hours prior to departure
1K 100 hours prior to departure
Premier Executive 72 hours prior to departure
Premier 48 hours prior to departure

For more information, please visit the mileage plus page on United.com.
