Play around with United's website and see if there are better flights for your travel date. Once you have one or two in mind with available space, call United and ask them to rebook you on it.

I'm a bit of a travel nut, and research the airlines quite a bit. Trust me, I've done all the searching on United. I also contacted United, but have not changed my flights yet, as we are traveling with another couple and we want to explore all options before changing them.
There is absolutely no one stop on the day we are planning on flying home. If we wait two days, we can get the one stop back through Denver, but that is adding to what will already be an expensive trip. We may still do that, but the only thing that gets us home in one day means 2 stops in Houston and Calgary, and close to 14 hours of travel. Not my ideal way of getting home.
