I just booked a TATL itinerary with intra-Europe flights on LX.

There's R space on the UA metal overnight to Europe, and I have GPUs burning a hole in my MP account, BUT I can't apply them (I don't believe) until the reservation tickets.

I'm now in the limbo period where UA is awaiting confirmation from LX that they have accepted the booking for their flights LHR-ZRH and ZRH-MXP.

Any experience with confirmation time for UA reservations that have LX code-shares? The stock message is that it will come within 24 hours, but I wonder what the typical response time is?

And anyone have a work-around to apply GPUs on an itinerary that is booked but not ticketed?
