Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A billing descriptor reading UNITED* ECONOMY PLUS corresponds to an extra legroom seating assignment or an annual subscription pass purchased from United Airlines, Inc.. Passengers select these upgraded cabin seats during flight booking or airport check-in to gain additional legroom and priority boarding benefits.
Unreviewed registry note: When purchased for a single flight, seat upgrade fees process as ancillary transactions separate from baseline electronic ticket fares. Alternatively, frequent flyers who purchase an Economy Plus annual subscription incur recurring yearly fees that bill automatically through their MileagePlus account. Reviewing your trip confirmation or passenger receipt clarifies whether the charge represents a one-time upgrade or a renewing annual pass.
