8 Months out none of them have the R open now so its going to be based on which market would be most likely to open up in advance and if not which E+ would be most comfy on the longhaul.

We are also willing to route thru any UA hub to better the odds on the longhaul lottery as well. We are hoping to book before the end of the month to get the SWU put in the booking asap for summer travel.

Hopefully we are thinking and going about this the correct way?

Thanks for all the thoughts already !!
