Has anyone had any luck calling CO to get the full credit for the EQMs after the fact? I know UA has been known to do this from time to time
You wont have any luck getting the credits after you fly.
What you need to do is call right now, and ask them to split the LAX-IAH-FRA in to two segments. This may add a few dollars in taxes. (some agents do not charge you).
