Called 1K desk, told I couldn't do this because it had to follow original routing. Problem is probably that this is BWI-LAS/LAS-FRA fares. But I'm surprised they don't waive routing to accomodate impossible connections. They tell me my only option is to skip ORD, so BWI-LAX-LAS-IAH... so I lose 1200mi+.

Sucks even more since upgrade cleared LAX-ORD-IAH already.

I'm going to wait a couple more months to see if there are any more schedule changes, hopefully with something that may work more favorably for me.
