Was not able to assist
CDS1959's wife with a systemwide as she was booked in "S" Class.
For anyone planning to UG, check the price of ''W' or up when ticketing ... to many US cities cost is near the same as S or T.
It seems the cost to upgrade out of SYD is now running over
$A700 one way one segment.
And the chances of an operational upgrade just as you 'look cute' are close to winning Lotto odds in 2008 to be honest, but it makes for fun conversation.
Virtually none of the check-on staff in SYD work for UA, but are Menzies rent-a-crowd, and they are tightly restrained in what they can do, unless flight is heavily oversold in coach in which case they
SELL upgrades. And get plenty of takers.
A SWU takes you not only transpac, but to end destination, whether Boston, London or Argentina, if no stop of 12 hours is exceeded.
SWU upgrades can be confirmed 330 days out, and preferred seating assigned.
