Looking to buy 80 plus points. How do I know which flight to book to ensure I can add plus points for the upgrade? Says online needs W class or higher.

Any class will work except for basic economy.

S and lower requires 80 and W and higher requires 40 each way

If you want to clear immediately, you need PZ (or PN class for GS PlusPoints). If you are okay to chance it with waitlist, then look for more P class availability so you have a higher chance.

You can see these info on .com/app if you enable Expert Mode on .com >Profile>Settings>Special Preferences>Enable expert mode

Thank you so much for the information. If I book something with PZ it will guarantee I get the upgrade?

Assuming the pluspoints are applied to an eligible fare and there are enough PZ seats available when applied, yes

Lmk if you’re still looking to buy.

On your Q you can always call United to ask if they have instant upgrade availability or if it’s waitlisted
