Has anyone had any trouble with outstations/contract emplyees? I'm flying ALB-EWR on an award with a 6 hour connection to EWR-IAD-ZRH-LUG, final leg on LX, paid, and the UA legs upgraded with a GPU. I remember having trouble in the past in ALB with separate tickets on *A and checking bags, though I forgot the details. If I do run into trouble, is there any way I could push them along? A SHARES code I could suggest?
