well it seems that you are on CO to IAH and UA from ORD-LGA who you are flying IAH-ORD you dont mention it could be CO or UA

That said you also dont mention which Sun/Mon you are flying

that said go to www.seatcounter.com and look at the flights if it says 9 that means at least 9 seats are available but there can be 50 available as well. Make sure to put in the Carriers code that you will be flying. So dont use CO for ORD-LGA unless you are flying ORD-CLE-LGA

Lastly also look and see how many flights are going during the time your flights are. I know sometimes UA will have a few flights heading out within 10-15 mins of each other, so that should take away the chances for a Bump as why would someone pay more when the other flight leaving at appx the same time will be cheaper

I also cant ever remember purchasing atkt trying to figure out whats best for a Bump, any time I use to do that I never scored
