All I Want for Christmas is…Another Bump on United

Matthew Klint Posted onDecember 7, 2009November 14, 2023 1 Comment

Well, not really, but last week I booked a nice little MR to get me back to Los Angeles on Christmas Eve and was pleased to find that the Economy cabin is now zeroed out more than 2.5 weeks before the trip on my JFK-SFO flight.

Inventory changes constantly so I am not celebrating yet, but I did thing it merited a post. Unfortunately, I am waitlisted for an upgrade to Business Class and have a middle seat in Economy. I’d dare say my situation is worse than Lucky’s earlier this year: at least he had an aisle seat. Let’s hope the upgrade comes through at the last minute. Better yet, let’s hope for another bump. Six hours is a long time to spend in United Economy…
