I'm 6', I don't know if my knees can take Economy in NH (or UA E- for that matter) all the way to SGN!
Not sure what O/A is?
As a GM, your chance of an upgrade with miles into C from ORD/SFO-HKG is about zero. Those flights often go out with 1Ks not getting upgrades, especially on Sat/Sun.
Ask your agency travel agent if they can get you a complimentary E+ seat. Sometimes they can.
