Hi - I tried this Y-up fare for an upcoming trip to Bulgaria (JFK to SOF) and came up with fare os $5600+ and when I did this again for another fare for a visit to see my sister in Melbourne, AU - in Nov-Dec - I came up with fares of $26500+ . Both fares were found on American AIrlines. I don’t believe this really works. I am now stuck in Economy COACH class on Austrian AIrlines this upcoming trip - APril 23 - May 7, 2008. I have had very recent back surgery and was REALLY hoping this Y-up fare thing would work for me, but it’ didn’t as I am in coach economy for $756 each (for me and my husband). I am so very disappointed…

seems like all the info on this page is “how to get a first class ticket” which everyone knows, and not a how to find Y-UP tickets. I know many, many people that are very confused with this site…. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m confused. Used your Y-UP page which forwarded me to Orbitz with price quotes. I did reserve the flights, but it did not give me first class seat choices, only economy. What gives?

What’s the difference between a Y-up and a regular first class booking on United? The procedure you describe in this article seems exactly the same as booking a first class seat. Great tips otherwise, especially on American!

Thanks for great insite in to 1st class discounts. I’m a big tall guy, who is sick and tired of, ‘my knees up to my chin’, flying. I’m 6′ 2″ and weigh 220 lbs. and on my flight to Hawaii (United, coach fare) I did not have room to put the meal tray down. When the person, in front of me, reclined the seat, I could not even exit to use the restroom. I belive the airlines ’squeeze for greed’ coach cabins, are not only VERY UN-FAIR, but very UN-SAFE as well. Does the FAA indorse standards like this??
