Make the most of your upgrades on United and Continental.

We understand how important upgrades are to you as an elite member. With our newly expanded network, there are now even more upgrade opportunities available. Here is helpful information about how to make the most of your upgrade options while United® and Continental® operate separately. Early next year, once we have a single technology platform for the combined airline, our upgrade benefits and processes will be fully aligned across the network. Until then, there will be some differences.

Match your MileagePlus elite status in OnePass.

You can now go online to request matching elite status in Continental's OnePass® program through our Combine My Activity program. While United and Continental operate separately, having the best possible status will help you make the most of your elite benefits, including upgrades, when you fly Continental this year. Even if you have already linked your MileagePlus® and OnePass accounts, be sure to match your status.

Below is a current list of upgrades. You may have used some of these upgrades already; others you might enjoy in the future.

Complimentary upgrades for elite members.

Both United and Continental offer complimentary upgrades when available for elite members. See our side-by-side comparison chart to understand the differences when flying the two airlines, such as which flights are eligible and the order in which you may be confirmed.

Regional Upgrades and Systemwide Upgrades.

Elite members receive Regional Upgrades or Systemwide Upgrades at several elite status mile/segment (EQM/EQS) thresholds during the calendar year, beginning at 75,000 EQM or 90 EQS. You may already enjoy using these upgrades on United flights. Now you can use them on most Continental flights, too - click through the link to learn how.

Mileage Upgrade Awards.

Now that you can transfer miles between your MileagePlus and OnePass accounts, you can request an upgrade with your combined miles on both United and Continental. Keep in mind that Mileage Upgrade Awards can be used only on the airline whose program miles you are using. If you want to use miles to upgrade a Continental flight, you have to redeem them from your OnePass account.

Elite members sitting in economy class still get the best seats, with complimentary access when available to Economy Plus® seating on United, and extra legroom and preferred seating on Continental. Each gives you extra comfort and room, though there are some differences.

Later this year, we will share complete details about the 2012 program, including status levels,

qualifications and benefits; lifetime benefits; and other program developments, so stay tuned.
