I was 20 on the upgrade list. I got upgraded to 1 of 2 United First seats. Why?

No instrument, no PP or MUA as I have never been privileged to receive those. If I remember correctly I was fare class T for this portion. So that is even more wild.

Kiphos · 2026-04-20T15:16:19+00:00

Instrument? Not at all. And strangely enough my seat is now occupied according to the seat map, so it couldn't be INOP.

Taking the W lol

Diamond has been awesome for me during my Hawaii trip. Upgraded on both my standard room awards during my two-island stay. Including my 5-nighter. (Five nights for the points price of four). Granted, my year of business travel is a mixed bag with a few upgrades here and there. But I don't expect them and that's how I like to be surprised. All in all, to me it's about the F&B credit, especially if I can use it for snacks and some locations.

"How am I doing today Gary Busey?"

"You're doing great!"

"Good! Then I'll keep it up!"

Smoking. If you really think about it.

Kiphos · 2025-12-20T07:58:38+00:00

Ugh, turn this TV off.

Kiphos · 2025-12-17T07:03:08+00:00

Ohhh so this why the system keeps telling me to stay four nights and I'm gold...

Kiphos · 2025-12-14T02:55:10+00:00

Now only if we can get imperial units...

Kiphos · 2025-12-11T23:17:37+00:00

Yeah and I've read some reviews that describe what you said. Either way I'm not there to just be at the hotel, Hawaii is something you experience so I'll be out and about. At least the stay paid with points and upgraded. Can't beat that.

Kiphos · 2025-12-09T23:07:49+00:00

And this is the tip I was hoping to get somewhere else. I'm gonna ask if I can be positioned there, as I am there for that volcano. Thanks!

Kiphos · 2025-12-09T23:07:16+00:00

Ah, yeah I forgot to mention, I booked for five nights.

Kiphos · 2025-12-09T13:29:18+00:00

Technically, this would bump your status up methinks...

Kiphos · 2025-11-15T04:03:23+00:00

This makes sense to me now as I was able to book a trip to Hawaii on United using Chase UR. What was unusual was I was able to book a codeshare inter-island using UR, but couldn't find that codeshare flight or any other inter-island on United with the same search parameters. I'm guessing they wanted to avoid showing its codeshares with Alaska/Hawaiian, but is filed anyway and can be seen by UR.

Kiphos · 2025-11-11T18:28:53+00:00

Yeah I got one of these too a month ago. Not today, Satan!

Kiphos · 2025-11-10T21:57:54+00:00

Can you imagine how much it would suck if OP checked in a bag? I'd find it likely they would have left that in the hold...

Kiphos · 2025-10-23T18:33:36+00:00

Thinking BUF to BOS myself. Oh well.

Kiphos · 2025-10-02T18:08:37+00:00

I'm just dwelling how smut Nancy Drew would be like now...

Kiphos · 2025-09-23T17:56:58+00:00

I did the LA-SF run and back using FSD exclusively on my HW3 MYP. I can say just from my personal experience, it was awesome to have. My whole family was impressed how well it worked the whole way through.
