for the better part of the last three decades, I have been starting all of my leisure travel trips on United on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Fares are generally lower mid week, and snagging a miles and money upgrade at purchase is much easier then as well. When I was a 1K, I would call the 1K line and have a very experienced and helpful agent help me find the best opportunities for an upgrade at purchase.
