Just made it to United 1K due to a corporate benefit. I fly from EWR to LAX most frequently. Wondering if i should hold my breath for upgrades to Business class? From what i see online, there’s just too many people in line for a small number of upgrades and chances are slim in 1K too.

Nope, 1K also with Newark as my home airport, I get upgraded like 10% of the time and it’s always on weird routes (Virginia, Florida, etc.).
You also have the problem that there are lots of ppl willing to actually pay for first class on that 5-6 hour flight, so not many upgrades to even start with.
Status isn’t what it used to be unfortunately, the only benefit I get is early boarding (which honestly who really cares about) and upgrades on 45 min regional flights, that I also don’t care about.

Such a scam. I’m glad I didn’t spend any money to get this status.

United does not provide complimentary elite upgrades NYC-LAX. Delta does, though, so you may want to switch.

Unfortunately my work place is only able to give United status complimentary :/

If Mon thu peak travel times don't expect anything

Are upgrades better for AA or United?

Aa plat pro was pretty decent if you were able to be slightly. selective with your flights and look for non-peak or more open flights , I did that strategy for jfk-lax or sfo and I always got upgrades on those. But I never tried 5pm on a Thursday

Upgrades are rare but status is worth it for IROPS, priority boarding , luggage etc..

Transcon aren’t eligible for CPU. You need an instrument (plus points or miles) or cash.

Depends how far up the 1K list you are as you will
Have a lot of GS on those flights hub to hub

It is dependent on total PQP spend as the 2nd factor cost of the ticket against other 1Ks tickets as the first not how many years or anything.

I’ve been 1K about 16 years and GS 3 as well and the only thing I can tell you is as soon as it starts to make sense they muck it all up

I’m UA GS. The United Transcons are not CPU eligible for 1K and below. I don’t even know if I’m eligible for a CPU on those flights.
