The discount applies to United Club trip passes for customers traveling on select long-haul international flights. A United Club trip pass gives you access to all available United Club locations at your departing and connecting airports, as well as at arrival airports in select locations, for one direction of travel.
At arrival, access to our United Club locations is only available to eligible travelers who are connecting to another flight or have already made a domestic connection to their destination airport.
A trip pass is only good for you (no guests) and expires once your trip is over. Customers who buy United Premium Plus fares and whose entire itinerary is on United® and United Express® flights can purchase a discounted trip pass when available on united.com and while booking their flight on the United app. If you’re unable to purchase the discounted trip pass in advance, please see an agent at the United Club location.

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
the customer without requiring an additional Global Premier Upgrade.
On December 4, 2019, we’ll replace Regional Premier Upgrades and Global Premier Upgrades with PlusPoints — a new, flexible upgrade benefit for Platinum and 1K members that can be used anywhere United flies. Learn more
