- Will I need to claim the checked bag and re-check it after?
- It seems ExpertFlyer can indicate how full a flight is by fare class - are there other/better ways to check?
- re upgrade for the SFO-PVG leg (from G) - I don't have any status with UA or its loyalty program. Do I stand any chance for an upgrade? If so how much will it normally be?
1. Plenty of time for the transfer because you will have pre-clearance at YYC.
2. No security check; just go from D/E/F gates to G gate for SFO-PVG (10-15 min walk)
3. No.
4. No idea. You will know how full the flight will be after everyone check in at T-60 min.
5. Miles + co-payment. Check other threads. It is very difficult to say without the flight date.
