Get the Swiss record locator and then go to "manage your booking" on the Swiss site. You should be able to choose seats.

Been out of the FD game for awhile, but previously you could not 3x any C1-C2 tickets, is this still the case? Or are there any flyable 1x that might exist if i start poking around old tricks? So much fat to cut this could be insanely cheap.

I used 74H as it is the IATA code for the 747-8i and did not mean the older 747 models.

How do flight changes work here with the base far so low? For instance, if I end up changing my flights to just be UA LAX-EWR in business and that far is $1,500 would it be a wash? Or would I have to pay the full difference in the far from say $1,300 to $2 and then eat the difference in taxes?

United metal flights SFO-somewhere in Europe?
Trying to get United lifetime miles so need UA metal; want to end up in Southern Italy, but willing to transit from pretty much any of the Europe hubs. I have only found SFO flights on LH and LS, or via one of the AC routes; I am not great at route searching, can anyone give me advice on routings departing midweek last week of September, returning midweek 3rd week of October? Any help would be much appreciated.
thx,

You can't use those if there are partner-operated flights on the itinerary. Must be all UA metal.

Google Flights is a child's toy. If you want to do things like get a specific carrier then you really should invest in learning how to use a more powerful tool such as ITA matrix, or just find a real TA to book for you.

Use ITA Matrix, Set cities for SFO-NAP, set dates for wed Sept 29 and Wed Oct 20 (And use +/- 1 day), put UA+ in the advanced controls and that will pull up all UA coded options. Scroll through those until you find UA operated on both outbound and return TransAtl segment. There is an easier way to specify only UA operated but it was missing some multi segment options so I think this manual way is a bit better. Here is one. You should be able to either use bookwithmatrix.com or feed segments into UA.com
United does not fly to NAP. FCO is the closest airport to Southern Italy. SFO-EWR-FCO has about 500 more BIS miles than SFO-FRA (-NAP). The SFO-FRA gives you a longer segment for overnight flight.
