Risky to change award ticket 24 hours out from UA to LX?
Hi there.
I'm currently booked EWR(UA)-ZRH(LX)-NBO in F.
With my 45 minute connection time in ZRH, and a separate onward ticket from NBO to JRO, I'm a little worried about me and my baggage making the plane.
According to ua.com, space has been opening up (in C) on a LX flight JFK-ZRH that gets in 20 minutes earlier. This has been happening about 24-48 hours before the flight. For example, right there is availability for tomorrow's flight, but not the rest of the month.
I was thinking I would just call up UA the day before and have them change the flight. However, I then got worried - will LX confirm the segment immediately? I want to make sure I don't somehow end up flightless. These flights are the beginning of my honeymoon and I don't want a missed flight to be how we remember the beginning of our marriage...
Thank you!
David
