So Im trying for EWR-DEL and DEL to BOM but they aren't letting me switch to UA82 on 3/4 since its only J1 (didn't know this was a thing?). Not sure what to do, but ill start by firing up all sorts of EF fare class alerts
FWIW I've booked a fully refundable fare on LH, albeit through BLR since they couldn't put me on FRA-DEL for some reason. This will be my backup if my SFO-DEL gets nixed and I don't get reasonably accommodated. The credit on UA isn't an issue, it will get used up at some point. Not ideal, and a more painful travel experience all told, but it will serve the purpose.
