I am not sure whether I can change routing directly using the app or agent (UA+LH -> UA nonstop). Has anyone had any similar successful story? How smooth did it go?
I did similar things with mine. I was on UA IAH-EWR-TLV. I did a SDC online when checking in to a later flight to reduce my cxn time from 4 to 2 hours in EWR. Ironically, when I called UA Premier Line, 1st person said they couldn't do it because it wasn't a UA ticket #, 2nd person said they could do it and it would be $1953.34... REALLY UA? It's comical that their olci did it with no issue at all (fare classes were available and they changed the res instantly without changing ticket #)
