If you misconnect to the United flight, there are two (2) DL LAX-SMF flights that go before the next UA flight, so I wouldn't worry. Just ask for one of those instead.
Hmmm. But as a lowly Gold, United's under no obligation to put me on those flights are they? Or are you saying if I miss the connection I point out they booked an illegal connection for me.
The two people traveling with me will be on my award tickets so "inherit" my status I take it.
