Sorry, was busy and didn't see this. The perks for UA are usually much better chances at domestic upgrades overall, but with some cities that see a lot of frequent flyers with status it is diminished. Also, if things are done right on flights with meals, 1K's get first choice and serving. You also get 6 system wide upgrades, essentially vouchers for ups to business/first from W class coach tickets. On the trips we just did to and from Australia I got W class coach tickets for around $2400 RT but used the upgrade that got me the same seat my wife bought for $11,000 or so. You also get 2 domestic upgrade certificates to cash in on any coach fair class. Looks like we may be flying to Hawaii around January 15th or so. There is a Chevron refinery there my wife needs to visit. May get to use the domestic upgrades for that flight and pick up 8000 miles or so.
