Declined, as did a handful of others from same original flight. OTOH, found out how nice a 747 can be in coach
Edit to add:
Apparently someone beat me to it:

UA has already missed out on about $4.5k in my business for 2015 due to dropping this route.

Appreciate the reminder about SDC only on UA and UAX. I am not someone who changes my itinerary after booking.
Re my paid first, I was searching for business class fares, but the price for first was showing up at only slightly more. I chose the least expensive option. TG from NRT to BKK was significantly more expensive than ANA in C.

Hi Guys,
I am 1K status and will be flying from MCO-BKK, and have successfully used my GPU to upgrade, but still need to fly economy from NRT-BKK. The website says I am allowed 2 baggage but if the rules below is true, does that mean I can bring up to 3 baggage as long as I check in with United and not ANA?
If true then does this mean that from MCO-BKK I am allow 3 bags and while from BKK-MCO I am only allowed 2 bags?
"DOT order that the allowance
of the first check-in carrier governs the entire ticketed itinerary will be
applicable. Accordingly, the baggage policy of United Airlines will be applied
to your entire journey including the ANA flight"
Thank you very much!

TG availability BKK-NRT
I just noticed TG opened up a bunch of award availability in F for the BKK-NRT route in September 2014. These flights show up on the UA website as both the 747 red-eye and the early morning 380.

I used to do this when prices exSIN were cheaper than exBKK (and they were quite often). However with the current cost of intra-Asia awards using UA kyat the value of this move seems debatable at best.
