Every flight is different. For regularly scheduled flights that are expected to be fairly full, we’ll let you change your flight with no change fee or receive a travel credit for your trip. We'll do our best to contact you about 24 hours before your departure time so you can decide before you arrive at the airport.

Beware that any alternatives are likely to either already be or become just as full, if not fuller. When I've looked at my flights (purely out of curiosity) the next available option may be 24 hours out and very similar loads... obviously with a major trunk route like SFOEWR there are more options, but I wouldn't expect any of them to be less than 70% based on what I'm seeing generally.

Can we just get this going somehow? In my opinion this is one major key to getting us back in the air more often:

Every time I get the message for my flights to/from DC I'm offered IAD/DCA/BWI/RIC/MDT. New York will likely offer EWR/LGA/HPN.

Per an article on TPG Link it looks like UA has tightened the mask requirement on board. I guess maybe they don't appreciate people taking 2 hours to eat their stroopwaffel.
While you can remove your face covering briefly to eat or drink, you must immediately put it back on afterward. And in the event of decompression, travelers will need to remove face coverings prior to donning an oxygen mask. Otherwise, travelers are expected to wear their face coverings for their entire flight and while in the airport.

At LAX right now, two redeyes to ORD and EWR adjacent gates. I'm on the ORD flight, which is a completely full 772 (with the 8-across F cabin). This is crowded for pre-Covid, so for anyone who's missing the old normal, this is the spot for you! I however, will be moving the rest of my travel for the year to AS, def willing to pay an extra $150 or so for the extra space and cheese plate!
It's probably also worth noting that this flight was showing about 70% full as recently as this morning. I don't think it's worth swapping flights
Edit: As a fun bonus, everyone in E+ has to gate check their bags!

Bizarre that they made E+ gate check; the 772 usually has enough space even fully loaded.
