Thanks as always
Yesterday, I was able to achieve wl status for flights on UA that had not saver award space available. No special words needed - maybe I just got a helpful and competent agent - but truly most are.

Changes were listed on my reservation.
Thank you ^ and it's done-took all of two minutes but one more question....

How late could the wailtist for the n/s CDG-EWR clear as the reason I ask is that their scheduled flight departs CDG to FRA at 10:45am and the waitlisted UA flight CDG-EWR departs at 9:25am and I'm wondering if it might be advisable that if after checking in on-line with LH to stop at the UA counter at CDG "just in case" (or not check-in on-line with LH and then stop by UA before heading over to the LH counter to check-in)
