Will completing app OLCI for either first or second tix mess things up on their back-end? Should I add checked bags to the OLCI flow on the UA app for either the first or second routing?
nothing to do with your bag checking question, but FYI, since you mention separate booking due to fares - often searching as multi city vs. O-D will get you the pricing you see separately on one ticket. So MEM-CGN May be high, but if you search multi city as MEM-DEN, DEN-CGN, you very likely would have gotten the lower fare anyway, and been on one PNR.
