Any idea why the system does this? I seem to remember something about United offering us free upgrades to First Class. Don't want to book a deviation ticket that will come back and bite me at expense report time.
I agree with Raptor's answer, but if you still feel uncomfortable, call Global travel and have them book it for you. I'm sure they'll tell you the same thing. I don't think you could book UAL coach on those routes if you tried, they would automatically upgrade you.
