Booked a United RT flight to ACC (Accra, Ghana) for around $1800. For my outbound, I can upgrade to United Polaris for 35k + $450 (waitlist, not an instant upgrade). To upgrade on the outbound with cash, it’s $5745. It’s a popular route with the holidays. Worth it to use my miles + the $450?

Acc?

Accra, Ghana. I’ve edited the post since it’s not a popular airport.

If the upgrade price is $5745, the chances of you clearing the waitlist is probably close to $0

That’s what I was thinking too 😂 But hoping for a Christmas miracle.

How do you deal with an HR that ghosts you after 3 interviews that went really well? I landed an offer at Deloitte as a sr. consultant, and then negotiated for a managerial role. I was told all interviewers were really happy with me so she would be glad to arrange a reevaluation for the new role(I was interviewed by 2 Sr. Managers & an MD for Sr. Consultant role and will have to take another round with a partner for the managerial position). I tried following up thrice after, no response.
