I do open jaw and fly into the UK but out of Dublin.
Just booked DUB-ORD-YYZ-LHR to head back for the Chicago Marathon in October via the EXP desk as it was a ~$400 savings over flying ex-LHR. Even with the LHR-DUB and hotel the night before, I'll save $200.
Gist of my conversation after requesting an EVIP be applied:
EXP Desk: If your UG clears (DUB-ORD), you'll be assessed the luxury tax.
Me: Why?
EXP Desk: DUB is in the UK.
Me: Um, no, it's in Ireland...
When I went into the reservation online, I thought it was a bit weird they did not automatically request the ORD-YYZ UG...clicked that box and hit request!
