Charges for being upgraded to 1st class
Ever checked your "Pass Travel" history?
Looks like I was charged $14.10 for an upgrade to 1st class. I wasn't aware that we were ever charged for upgrades. And I certainly don't ever remember asking for an upgrade.

If you don't want to be charged, but want to keep your seniority for boarding, make sure you list for coach and not first. That being said, if you list for coach and the only seat on the airplane is in first, you ain't going!

Is that similar to booking 1st class on Employee Res? You get charged? I'm able to non-rev with another airline and they don't charge for being upgraded. In fact its assumed you want to be upgraded. International travel...no charge for up front, except for the taxes of course. Curious why UA does that.

If you want free first you have to have 25 years, go "fee waived" when you select your listing, or use a vacation pass
They do it to make money =)

If you listed coach, and got moved to first... The gate agent was doing you a favor because likely that's the only seat that was left. If you only list for coach, and first is all that's available, they can leave you there.
