Any advice as to what to say, hugely appreciated.
Welcome to FlyerTalk!

I would n😵‍💫t expect success when making such a request. United has been pretty strict about only having a brief change window available each year. I wonder what you're really after here, though - is it taking someone off as a companion or swapping to someone new. If it's taking someone off, they may just do that if you're the sponsor. It never hurts to ask -- the worst that can happen is that they say no.
