How much are you planning to pay for a SYD-LHR round trip on UA? Last time I looked, they didn't really publish competitive fares in that market.
It might almost be worth buying J on another carrier. If you do want to fly UA, consider buying a B fare, which is not that much more expensive than their other fares in the market and which carries a 50% PQM bonus and somewhat better upgrade odds if you must waitlist.
Thanks Mods for finding the appropriate thread.
The upgradeable ( with GPUs) fare BNE-SYD-LHR return is USD 3808 .
B is $5950 for the same routing.
