When I booked the award seats the connection legal. Now they are not.
Anyway, just when you think United are lost cause, you get a really good agent. She understood the situation straight away, said "Yikes, you can't make that connection" and rebooked me on later flights (opening up awards with the help of her supervisor) all done in 10 minutes.
