How to make the best of 1-Stop flight
I am flying UA286 SAN-SFO-ORD and then connecting to another flight to RIC. I want to either get the extra 500 PQM/PQS for the extra flying that I will have to do or take the nonstop to ORD.
When I bought the ticket this was the only option given by my company travel website or it would have been US flights.
So how much grief will I get from UA to stand by on the earlier flight to SFO and then take 286 or take 286 to SFO and then take a different one to ORD or take the morning nonstop SAN-ORD?
