Some connection is tight and maybe UA would call me and ask to change some flights and I could even go crazier routing or a stop over in GUM or HNL which happened to me before
Thanks OP
I booked EWR-SFO-MNL-GUM-HNL-EWR (stop in HNL & GUM on the way over) for $1049. This was 20,335 miles and will clinch me 1K. I opted to overnight in SFO since the connection was 38mins. Wasn't afraid for me but for my luggage. Taking advantage to see a friend for dinner in SFO. With fares the way they are and slim opportunities from EWR, this was a good find. Thanks for posting.
