UA agent said it's not their ticket and there's nothing they can do to fix it. SAS agent said its premium economy on their side but United is known to accommodate codeshare passengers in regular economy. Is there anything I should try to do? The flight is tomorrow. Would the airport agent be able to help?

What is the SK flight number?

The booking code data that I see for SK A fares includes accommodation in S class within area 1 on a lot of their codeshare flights. S is an economy fare class on SK.

If this were a UA flight number, rather than an SK flight number, it would have booked into UA R class (definitely not UA A class). R is PE. Of course, there's no guarantee you'd be able to find R space -- or any PE space -- on an LAX-EWR flight at such late notice.
