Minimum Connection violated at Heathrow (Disaster waiting to happen)
I redeemed miles for a saver ticket from MUC to EWR the other day connecting in LHR. I was happy to find availability and didn't look very closely at the connection time, but now am noticing I was given only 60 minutes to move from a LH flight (T1) to UA (T4). Heathrow's website lists the MCT at 90 minutes for T1 to T4, making this an illegal connection. Worst thing is the LHR-EWR flight departs at 6pm, and there aren't any *A flights later that night.
Would United be willing to work with me to change the flight without charging a fee? Otherwise, a misconnect seems inevitable, no? Checking saver award availability however shows there is nothing else left for that day between MUC and EWR/JFK/LGA (or the day immediately before or after).
