Couldn't you just route it through Chicago onto EI metal if you weren't concerned about E+ on the long-haul?

Or go DEN-(Europe)-DUB if you want E+ most of the way?

I'm not familiar with the pains of connecting in EWR to DUB (I just know I don't care for EWR in general), but it seems like that'd be an okay routing to get E+ for the entire trip.

Disclaimer: I've never attempted to redeem EI short-haul using United miles. I just know I do sometimes see the EI long-hauls in United.com as available, and the website doesn't suggest that something like DEN-FRA-DUB would not work. This past summer, I never found EI availability on short-hauls, but since I was doing Avios awards I didn't care: I just bought the tickets.
