1. Wait for SDC. However the departure date is the Tue of the thanksgiving week. I only have *G and I don't know how likely that G fare will be available.
2. Buy a new ticket (K) for about $180 which is still cheaper than the $200 change fee.
Please tell me what you think. Thank you!
It's a simple calculation: is being able to guarantee a daytime flight worth $180 to you?
Keep in mind that free SDC Is not a published *G benefit. If you end up needing to call, because G class isn't available, you may be charged the regular $75 fee.
I agree with your concern that G might not be available on the day that you want to travel, especially because you need G availability all the way from XXX to YYZ. You can't rely on the UA automatic leveling -- which isn't really reliable these days anyway.
