there is no reason to spend $200 more because of a concern about irrops. when irrops occur, UA will roll out the red carpet to let you rebook on whatever new available flights you prefer, regardless of whatever flights UA’s system automatically rebooked you on. just tell UA the exact flights you want. it would be pretty stupid to select new flights that create a checked baggage issue, so don’t be stupid by telling UA you want such flights. if you have checked bags, tell UA you want rebooking on the next day’s flight, or the same day routing via EWR w/ an SFO overnight, or route via FRA so SFO remains first point of entry.
