Thanks. That’s very helpful. In fact the current stopover time is just under 4 hours, which apparently explains why after I booked it UA is treating it like IAD-IAH with a connection rather than a multi-segment with a stopover which is the way I tried to book it.



Thanks for the ideas. It’s not till September 8.

Does anyone know how UA would treat a checked bag on IAD-MIA/FLL-IAH, same ticket with a less than 4-hour stopover time?
From what I see looking at multi-city WAS-MIA-IAH, it's just giving a pair of one-way fares WAS-MIA + MIA-HOU — so how about just buy separate tickets? In IRROPS, they'll usually take pity on you. I've never been met with a hardline voiding of my second ticket.
