Considering switching to:
UA 839 LAX-SYD 4/3/14 F0 A0 J1 C1 D1 Z0 P0 (yikes)
UA 863 SFO-SYD 4/3/14 F3 A3 J1 C1 D1 Z1 P1
UA 863 SFO-SYD 4/4/14 F2 A2 J3 C3 D3 Z0 P0
The bold one a better chance with more F cabin to clear BF out of?
It is not normal procedure to op-up from business to first.
As a UA Gold, you chances are poor at best on any of those flights.
Before spending any money, I would call and ask how many are on the waitlist or ask the agent their best advice.
