[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]United will not be "nice", not because they don't want to be but because there are tons of people in line in front of you. I am a measly silver level on United which means that I am typically #30 on the upgrade list for the 2 available seats in first class. So unless the flight is completely devoid of frequent flyers you are unlikely to have a shot. I was upgraded once on a flight at Christmas, I guess because it was all leisure travelers and because this plane had an unusually large first class. Otherwise I am happy just to get economy plus.

Domestic first class is no great shakes anyway. It's not worth points for sure. But check your DHs account to see if he's got any upgrades.[/quote]

You can't use upgrades on a ticket bought with points.

And agree with this poster.  My husband is a 1K on United and even he doesn't get an upgrade all the time - maybe 75% if its domestic.  Very very rarely if it's international. [/quote]

On United you can buy a first class seat with points.  The seats are more but are buyable.  I don't understand why OP seems to think because she has a kid United should just plop them in first class.  Plus I don't see why if it's a long domestic flight she won't buy economy seats for herself and the kid.  Especially with points.  [/quote]
