Longer than 4 hours of domestic layover allowed?
A friend wants to book a one-way award ticket from GJT (Grand Junction, CO) to IAD. However, all the suggested flights on United.com depart in the morning but my friend wants to leave home in the afternoon. We see that there are two United flights with award availability like this
GJT-DEN 1757-1900 (the latest flight of a day)
DEN-IAD 0605-1120 (the earliest flight on the next day)
Would it be possible?

DEN-IAD 0605-1120 (the earliest flight on the next day)
Would it be possible?

It will work, but you may have to call. It's 4 hours or the next available flight, whichever comes first. Online will typically try to price it as two end-to-end fares (e.g. GJT-DEN and DEN-IAD), which you don't want--though when the only connection is the next morning, IME the site works a little better.
