What's Uniteds best aircraft for flying domestically in business/first?
The 757-200's flying JFK-LAX and some out of Newark. You can see the configuration by checking the seat map.

I haven't seen in ages United opening up award availability in J on this route. Last year it was a routine thing for United to open up award availability in J for this route the last minute, this year they release almost nothing.

You know the feeling, right?   :D

On hold right now with UA. Have an award tkt to Israel booked out of EWR on the late flight and want to switch to the early flight. I know in the past they treat is as a change and charge the fee. Any suggestions on how to get around this?  Thanks!

I have an award booked on Austrian with UA miles. However united won't let me choose seats/meal, and the record locator won't come up on checkmytrip.com or Austrian website.

Any idea how to pull it up?

Try and pull it up on lufthansa using your UA record locator.
