1. is there a way to "see" how full 1st is? e.g. can you use the CO PDA site to see this flight?
(though if htere are no complimentary upgrades and I can't use an instrument not sure why I care! LOL)
You can check how many seats is LH willing to sell (for example using flightstats.com, which is free). LH does not usually over-sell first. FWIW, LH413 EWR-MUC this Saturday is F2A2J4C3D0Z0, so there should be two seats in first available.
PS: you could consider looking in CouponConnection for someone in the EWR area with a UA paper SWU to exchange for a continental SWU.
