Yes. We’re giving members the option of using a single Global Premier Upgrade to request a move to a United Premium Plus seat, an upgrade to the United Polaris business class cabin, or both. If a member would like to be considered for both a United Premium Plus seat and the United Polaris business class cabin, we will move the member to whichever seat becomes available first.
If the first available seat is a United Premium Plus seat and the member chose to be considered for both a United Premium Plus seat and the United Polaris business class cabin, we will continue looking for space in the United Polaris business class cabin for
