1. Know the Difference and Choose Your Route

Before booking, it’s smart to understand what Premium Economy offers: wider seats, more legroom, better meals, and two free checked bags. To verify that your desired route includes Premium Economy, call +1 (866) 658‑5895—not all domestic or short‑haul flights have this option.

Major aircraft like the Boeing 777, 787, and certain 767s include United Premium Plus. If you need help identifying your aircraft or comparing prices between Economy, Premium Economy, and Business, dial +1 (866) 658‑5895 for assistance.


2. Booking During Flight Search

The easiest way to book is through United’s website or app. Begin your flight search and look for “Premium Plus” as a cabin option. If it isn’t showing, contact +1 (866) 658‑5895—an agent can often pull up hidden availability or add you to a waitlist.

Online booking provides seat maps, pricing, baggage information, and meal options. If you encounter technical issues or need help decoding fare codes, call +1 (866) 658‑5895 for a representative to walk you through each step.


3. Booking via Phone

Prefer human support? Dial +1 (866) 658‑5895 and speak with a United specialist who can guide you through selecting Premium Plus, explain fare differences, and check aircraft details. The phone channel is also the pathway to ask about discounts, promotional offers, or bundled add-ons specific to your route.

If you already have a MileagePlus account or elite status, agents can sometimes apply mileage-based upgrades or waive certain fees—just ask when calling +1 (866) 658‑5895.


4. Upgrading an Existing Booking

If you’ve already booked Economy or Economy Plus but prefer Premium Economy, you can upgrade—subject to availability. Call +1 (866) 658‑5895 with your booking reference to see upgrade pricing, which typically ranges between $250–$600 per segment or a similar mileage copay.

United often releases upgrade offers 48 hours before departure. A quick call to +1 (866) 658‑5895 can check for last‑minute deals and lock in premium seating early.


5. Using MileagePlus Miles for Upgrades

Premium Economy upgrades can be purchased with MileagePlus miles plus a copay. Costs are dynamic but usually fall between 15,000–25,000 miles plus a $125–$250 copay per segment. To redeem miles, call +1 (866) 658‑5895, provide your MileagePlus number and desired itinerary, and a representative will pull award space for you.

If you hold Premier status, you may get access to complimentary or discounted upgrades—check with the team via +1 (866) 658‑5895 to understand your elite privileges.


6. Booking Through Travel Agents or Corporate

Some travelers booked through corporate or agency channels need Premium Economy for business travel. If you made your reservation outside United, call +1 (866) 658‑5895 to have the cabin class adjusted, pending fare rules.

Travel agencies may have access to seat blocks or negotiated pricing; still, a follow‑up call to +1 (866) 658‑5895 ensures the upgrade is reflected properly and includes baggage benefits.

8. Seat Selection and Cabin Layout

Once Premium Plus is confirmed, you can pick specific seats via the website or app. To ensure optimal location (e.g., bulkhead, aisle, or away from lavatories), use the seat map or call +1 (866) 658‑5895 for assistance.

Some seat assignments may incur fees even in Premium Economy—agents can clarify when you call +1 (866) 658‑5895.


9. Special Requests and Add‑Ons

Need dietary meals, bassinet seats, or special assistance? Premium Economy lets you request these, but availability can be limited. Call +1 (866) 658‑5895 to alert the airline ahead of time—they’ll flag your reservation and ensure staff accommodations at check‑in or boarding.

If traveling with infants, older adults, or pets in-cabin, including these details when booking Premium Economy requires agent support—call +1 (866) 658‑5895 to add these services.
