There is a part of me that wonders whether my ticket is properly waitlisted to try and use 2 GPUs on flights from IAH-LHR on the 21st with a return on the 26th. My paranoia results from a flight last month with wrong information on the UA website vs. what was in the airport system regarding seat selection (as well as many of the earlier disappearing segment and seat problems I experienced post integration).
That being said, I am a 1K and purchased a B class ticket a month ago. When I bought the ticket (although I know not accurate) there were 22 seats showing on the outbound and 29 on the return, so I thought to try my luck. Now less than a week out, it is 7 seats and 12.
When I requested the use of the GPU's I was charged the additional amount for the UK air passenger duty and the website said that the 2 GPUs were deducted from my account. This charge has not yet hit my credit card in over a month. Does it only hit the statement if you get one of the segments upgraded? The reservation now has a blue arrow and says "upgrade requested." Does this have the same meaning as Upgrade waitlisted?
Although I know I might not be able to ultimately use these GPUs if no seats get releases, I would feel better knowing at least I was properly in the game. It would be extremely frustrating to find out too late that I might not have been properly waitlisted to try and use them.
