Im trying to figure out if this is a temporary glitch or the result of stupid behavior by United management. Although I suspect I already know the answer.
I dont fly enough to worry about ever being upgraded from coach to first so I always just book and pay for first. Now, even though I only select First or Business Class as my search option, the UAL app (iPhone/iPad) no longer allows me to browse the FC seats without first selecting a flight for booking. I dont travel for business so getting on a specific flight is not always the criteria for me, sometimes it really is seat availability. Now, in order to see whats available, I have to create a fake booking and run through the whole thing just to see where I might want to sit.
Is is this some convoluted method by which United hopes to squeeze more revenue from us stones or is it something else?
