Why Premier Silver Matters
Your upgrade includes valuable perks designed to enhance every trip:
A faster path to status. More comfort in the air. A better way to fly with United.
This is a nice perk. For first class you are at the bottom of the upgrade list though I have gotten it a couple of times. But the Economy Plus upgrade is almost always available, and the free bag check saves you some money.
