2) If you change your flights, the PZ bucket needs to have availability. Otherwise, you’ll be back in economy.
3) You can change flights, but if the PZ bucket does not have availability you’ll be back in economy. You might want to call and see if an agent can just change the first segment.
Cool thanks.. I wasnt sure if its how it works b/c with AA many agents now are pretty clueless and they would want me to cancel the whole thing just to simply change the domestic leg. I'll give UA a call and inquire on just moving LAX-SFO to earlier.
I'm still holding my DL ticket in Y that I had originally and there are surprisingly 20 of 32 open seats. I feel as though DL will offer something to go to D1 and I was just wondering if I did take that (to be able to avoid going to SFO) would I be able to get my entire 30K +$600 back?
