If I were to book the ZRH-ORD using points and the ORD-STL using $ (on 2 separate tickets) could they be connected so I would be protected in the event of "issues"?
Thanks...
BTW... I'm looking at flying J as much as possible on the return. Oh.. and no status either.
There's no official protection or technical way to "connect" them. However, if they're both UA, they'll likely take pity on you in case of "issues" and help get you back on another ORD-STL flight. Any incidentals like overnighting would be your responsibility.
