I thought Y/M/B class tickets get instant upgrades if you are 1K on United. Is that not the case? I bought an economy class B ticket and it’s just booked as economy. Do I need to do something to get upgraded on this automatically? It was 50% more than the cheapest economy ticket l.

You get instant upgrades if upgrade space is available. Did you ensure PN/PZ space was open?

☹️ no I dint

You get an "instant" upgrade when you book a Y, B or M ticket when PN space is available on a CPU-eligible route, and you should be able to select a First Class at booking (or you can decline the upgrade).

If PN is not available, you'll get priority waitlisted in PN after GS-supported instruments, but before all other PZ waitlists. However, if PZ is released before 96 hours prior to departure, those using PlusPoints will clear before you. But if PN is released at any point, you can go into trip details and there should be a link for you link upgrade yourself instantly.

To elaborate on A&Ms comment, the instant upgrades for Y/B/M on 1k are based on availability in PZ/PN space, only on routes with CPUs and only process manually (i.e., you must notice the open space and push the request through then)

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
