I'm trying to book a ticket from LAX-SKG for late August/early September. (I'm late in getting to this for a variety of reasons, chief among them the LA fires in January which have pretty much disrupted our lives). I'd really like to fly business class, at least on the longer overseas segment. I've looked at flights on google.com, United, and Turkish Air. Right now I've got Platinum status on United, and 40 Plus Points (not enough to do very much).
I don't know if anybody has any advice on trying to upgrade with miles or points on any of the various routings that United flies. Right now everything is waitlisted for upgrades anyways. I don't know the chances of clearing ORD-ZRH, say or MUC-ORD, or any of the other routes that UAL would fly.
I know that's a kind of vague, perhaps openended question, but would appreciate any help/tips anyone's got. TIA.
