Chances to get upgrade to Polaris with PlusPoint for SFO - SIN? I have lost my status but my husband is able to use his plus point for my trip. He is NOT flying with me. Currently being waitlisted. A few more days til departure. Any tips? Or I should pay cash to buy at $$$$$ to upgrade immediately?

Points plus are a scam! You wanna fly upfront. Pay gift it. That’s the only way to really make it so.

That is the most sought after upgrade in the entire United route network. What do you think your odds are?

Never flew this route :/ maybe I should stick to Econ and get the last row of 3 seats to myself so I may lie flat if needed (being a super petite woman)

I would just pay for it, getting Polaris on Plus Points this time of year is going to be REALLY tough IMO

like

Can you look at how many seats are left and then judge it based on that? I rarely ever get upgraded on my Newark to London flight and they have flights running throughout the day.

United wants cash.

I called the United to get a sense of my place on the waitlist, and decided to do the money route after I heard I was 20+ on the waitlist. (For a different flight)

That’s a great point. The premium plus economy price fluctuates a lot, when Polaris was $2778, premium plus Econ was $2666, then when Polaris was $1499, premium plus Econ was $436, now it jumped back to $1355, but this cabin only have 4 seats remaining (decreasing) so I wonder if I should continue to watch for Polaris.. it’s so nerve wrecking lol

I would do anything to take Polaris

If you have the points burn those first
