Jump to postDoes it matter for upgrades for United elite flyers if it is a United ticket (operated by US metal)??
Jump to postI'm flying the US Air ways Shuttle tomorrow. I was just wondering how much time I should leave for security with everything going on. The Shuttle security lines are usually non-existent, which is why I am wondering.
Jump to postDoes having Star Alliance Silver or Gold Status (via United elite status) affect upgrade chances on the US Airways Shuttle? Or do upgrades only go to US Airways elite status flyers?
Also, I imagine the Shuttle is full of elite flyers, so do upgrades go to the flyers with the most miles or what?
