[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you talk about first class, do you really mean first or do you mean business?

If your husband really gets paid to fly first, why not just fork out the money to buy two business seats, then negotiate with his company to pay the difference (compared to a first class ticket).   Jesus...[/quote]
No kidding. This is so obvious I couldn't bring myself to respond. [/quote]

Yeah, domestic on United is usually only "business/first".  It is bigger seats and better service, but not worth using point for IMO.  [/quote]

Yes, and domestic on United is probably a 737 or Airbus 320, both are single aisle airplanes with limited business/first seats.[/quote]

OP here.  We booked the flight and the plane is a 777 with a true first class...My husband did check with his employer (who books all travel for them) and no matter the price they will only get a ticket for the employee.  They do not have a travel stipend that they can be paid if they choose to not take advantage of the option of flying first class.  It is just a perk for having to travel constantly and be away from home for a month.  I'd love to pay for a higher class ticket but it is not in our budget.  I wouldn't be going if we didn't have the points to pay for the ticket.  The coach ticket is about $1000.  Im so surprised my original question got so misconstrued.  I wasn't trying to scam any system, thought I was special or any of the other things that were said or implied.  I really was just asking, just in case, someone had an example of where they had success with getting an upgrade.

Thanks to those who took the time to share your helpful thoughts.[/quote]
