My only stress is if UA proactively fixes it.
A booking for this summer in PremEcon, UA out, LH return. Original UA codeshare return.
Called to change to LH flight number, UA knew immediate what and why I wanted. But things got interesting -- after 15 minutes, cam back and said this will take longer. Had another codeshare LH operated to start the day and the two LH flights were married segments. So in the end both flights were re-labeled.
Then as I started into applying *A mileage upgrade, I got a very reasonable cash upgrade for upper deck, footsie seats (only a few seats still available). Decided to purchase.
And now the TATL segment is gone on united.com.
Just hope UA does not try to help me or LH makes a schedule / aircraft change.
Question: if I put an upgrade request or take a cash offer from UA, is that pushing my chances too much?
