Additionally on a separate PNR, I have saver first FRA-EWR on UA. If I set an alert for saver first on LH, could I call and switch? Don't get me wrong I'm happy to me in UA Global First, but would much rather try out LH First and their nice terminal at FRA
Presuming you are 1k as it says in your profile, then yes you have no change fees for award tickets as detailed at https://www.united.com/web/en-US/con...ticketing.aspx. Be careful that the agent doesn't do anything that breaks the segments you want to keep and check your itinerary online before you hang up.
