Can I expect seats to open up between EWR-JAX?
Option: I can get a OW SW $49 flight from ISP-MDW, take my $223 MDW-EWR-JAX fare and just get off in EWR on the return since I live in NYC. Is that wrong?
Orbitz did not help me and I am too proud to call a travel agent a beg them to 'break' the married pairs for me.


It's simply impossible to break married pairs, however if you were to ask book segments independently, they can do it. I'm not sure about CO, but UA's CRS, which is Apollo, automatically checks it like I said. If CO's CRS isn't programmed to check automatically, you might get it.
