You simply pay the lowest fare that will accommodate your travel plans & budget, call destina, and they'll move you up to Y+ assuming space available. BUT, you have to have gold (Elite) status to do so.

I've been told by others since I posted the message, however, that you can do the same thing simply by phoning UA (or other Star Alliance partner).
