- 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. Bags should be checked to final destination assuming one ticket.
2. YYC - SFO should be precleared, so you would arrived into SFO no different than a domestic flight. No security at SFO
3. See #1
4. You can use UA Expert mode along with seat map
5. No, but you can see if a paid upgrade might be within your price range
