Earlier Flight with Award Booking?
Hi everyone,
I have an F award booking in August through UA that I can no longer change flying on several star carriers.
We're flying LAX-PHL arriving at 235PM connecting to PHL-BOS departing at 515PM arriving 644PM. In BOS we are connecting to LH to MUC departing at 820PM.
I'm a bit concerned about having enough time to connect in BOS and possibly misconnecting. When checking in at LAX would an agent be able to put us on an earlier PHL-BOS flight? I see they run pretty much every hour. We will have checked bags so I don't know if a change would be possible in PHL.
I know summer thunderstorms tend to pop up on the east coast, I'm not sure to what extent this affects PHL and BOS, as a UA flyer I've only really experienced IAD.
Also, is 1 hour 35 min enough time to connect US to LH in BOS?
Thanks for any input!

Yes they can. As long as its US metal on a US booked award.
I've done it before.
