We have an EWR-DEL United Polaris award flight on Dec 16 at 830 pm, however we have to reposition from DFW-EWR separately. Should I try my luck requesting United to add a DFW-EWR leg via UA to the award booking?


We have 6 checked bags so if we book separate flights, it’s going to be $200+ for bags alone. Is there any trick around that?

I don’t have a United credit card but I have the AAdvantage Red Aviator card that gives free bags but the AA flight is too early in the morning and I don’t want to spend 6+ hours waiting at EWR.
