Your ability to get VA flight numbers will run out by the time you reach US east coast...if they are even available at all if your plan is to try and get all this on a RTW ticket. I really doubt that the VA numbers would be able to be ticketed as part of that.

Well SQ has been blocking the majority of *A partners from long haul business class redemptions for probably approaching 20 years now, so....

And Delta is starting MEL-LAX in December. Seems like there's going to be way too much capacity.

The United flight status page shows all this very detailed info. But you'll only be able to see the waitlist pecking order a few days out from departure. Essentially, paid Premium Plus trumps most (but not all status levels), then status, before getting to paid economy with no United status. As...

UA99 MEL-LAX today...13 cleared from the upgrade list...still NINETEEN free seats left in Polaris...no I class! I thought people were claiming these flights were busy!??

It's a piece of material dangling from the ceiling. The likes of which has been in use for decades. It's not MCAS!

But the thing they're spending literally years deliberating over is already widely used elsewhere in the world. How much "looking" do they need to do?

The entire upgrade list cleared...UA is very transparent with that info on the flight status page. It does only show the on the day upgrade list though...previously for flights as empty as that one I've been waitlisted for upgrade and its cleared as early as 7 days out. So in reality of the 29...

I actually thought that was already mentioned in this thread but seems not. The change in I class availability coincides exactly with the change to IN. You would think (maybe) this is more of a clumsy implementation or system issue that will be addressed...it impacts all *A partners too.

Yesterday's final seat map for UA99 MEL-LAX. Polaris went out with 19 free seats AFTER 7 upgrades were confirmed. But never at any time in the lead up to the flight was there I class inventory.

I don't think its that...many UA flights ex Australia are going out with poor load factors at the moment. Polaris may look like its doing OK but it is of course full of upgrades. I flew MEL-LAX in mid July and about a week out Polaris was half full (not just based on seat map as UA is very...

"Hi...this is the CEO. I need that report right now!" "OK".

You might also consider the emergency exit rows. 5 hour flight...at least you won't have to walk the entire length of the aircraft to use the lavs.

QF63 departs at 1030 by then. That's a legal connection.

Often PE cabins are small...I think its probably more a case that the operating carrier guards that inventory for their own management. VA doesn't sell premium economy on Singapore Airlines, United...or actually I think any of its partner airlines.

That sounds completely standard though. Pretty sure you're not earning anything if you spend $2k on carrier surcharges on an Emirates award on Qantas.

It sounds like if it (your VA number) was ever there, you overwrote it with an NZ number...so I doubt they will post.

I would not have done that. I don't believe you will earn anything in Airpoints due to the unilateral nature of this arrangement and the VA flight number. You hopefully got this fixed (VA number added) at check in.

I have a repeated issue (currently on S25 Ultra, but also on my previous S23 Ultra)...where only my American Express card (I have a few others) in Samsung Wallet goes into a state where it is "Temporarily Unavailable - Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to use this card"...which is in fact...

They would if you booked them via VA.
