Here are a few of the ways we put Premier Executive® members first:
First on the phone: Premier Executive reservations
To receive personal assistance in booking your worldwide flights, you or your travel agent can call our private Premier Executive Reservations service in the U.S., Canada and several locations in Asia, Australia, Europe and Central America. In other areas, your local United Reservations office will assist you. For a complete directory of elite reservations phone numbers, please refer to your Premier Executive brochure.
First in line: Priority check-in
Check-in for your United flights at the counters designated specifically for you. If no elite line exists, you are welcome to check in with our United First® customers at most major terminals in the U.S. and Canada. On international flights, you may check-in with our United Business® customers.
You may also use Priority check-in counters when flying on any of our Star Alliance® member carriers. Look for the "Star Alliance Gold" sign for your Priority check-in position.
United Economy Plus
Complimentary for Elite members and a companion. United Economy Plus is an exclusive area of 6 to 11 rows in the United Economy section, offering up to an additional 5 inches of legroom. Advance seating is available at the time of booking on a first-come, first-served basis; member must also have Elite status at the time of travel to retain reserved Economy Plus seats. Economy Plus® is available on all United and Ted aircraft.
Complimentary Upgrades
When seating is available, Premier Executive members who book select Y or B class tickets within Region 1 (U.S., Canada, Caribbean, Central America and Mexico) will automatically be upgraded to the next class of service: Business Class on a three-cabin aircraft, First Class on a two-cabin aircraft.
Priority on the waitlist
If a United flight you want is full, you can be added to the waitlist for seats that may become available. Your priority status on the waitlist is determined first by the fare you purchase, with highest fares getting highest priority. Then, within each fare, priority is based on your Mileage Plus® status. For award travel, your place on the waitlist is determined first by status, then by the time your request is made.
