TBH, the BR segment is the priority since without TPE-DAD in J I don't get lounge access and would really love a shower after working all day and then flying for 15 hours.

well yeah, changing YN to JN for the UA segment will cost more. I don’t think you can assume that I/IN is a simple switch - this is a broken fare and you are mixing saver with everyday. Certainly call and discuss with an agent, in principle I/IN available would make that segment cost nothing in the context of partner I TPAC. Getting that done will almost certainly require fresh BR TPAC inventory
