Nov. 16, 2025, UA888 SFO-PEK, Gfare (deep discount), Mileage upgrade award to Polaris ($600+30,000 miles). No Premier status.

Thanks!
Maybe 30-40%? Sundays are tough, and you’re literally last in priority amongst paying customers. However, inventory is open all the way down to P9, and the seat map — which isn’t definitive — is showing about half of the seats available. No guarantee, but far from impossible.
