Changed it from lga-iah-lax to jfk-lax.
Got economy plus and the fee waived on the first call .

How long before the flight do business seats usually open up?

Supposedly 2 weeks but I have seen more then that.

If I have the UMPE do I get a free bag if I'm on an AC flight (YVR-LAX) booked with UA miles?

That was my fear. Any way to get a free bag in economy (I have the free bag on the rest of my flights on the trip).

Or have the Amex Plat (or PRG after 6/1). Remember to register your airline.

Never booked an awards ticket on United..
When I try booking nyc-fll they have availability for super saver but are charging me a $80 fee.
Anyway around this?

I cancelled a United award flight, and now I want to use those miles for a new flight. Would I be able to change the name on the ticket? (A rep told me no, I'm asking to see if HUCA would be helpful, or if it's a lost cause.)

Pay the fee and redeposit the miles.

How much does United charge for changing the date of a reward flight? or to redeposit the miles?
I see availability on a flight in June that may work for me, but I am not 100% I can fly that day. I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger and book it or wait until my dates are finalized. The seat may be gone by then. Hope this doesn't sound toooo confusing...
