Any trick? What's the key to the booking. I'm out of ORD, anything that I can take advantage of?

That's a great routing! Not often do I see stuff connecting via MCO. Nice job.

I'm a newbie on mileage runs. On which system did you book this itin?

UA.com does not allow so many segments ...

UA.com will let you book additional segments, you just can't specify all of them directly. For example, if you do a multi-city, and enter PHX-MCO, it will route it as PHX-DEN-MCO, PHX-ORD-MCO, or perhaps PHX-LAX-MCO. This allows you to pick up extra connections beyond what you can specify.

I'm not sure if this is how the OP did it, but it's one alternative.

I've been working ITA for the last hour and nothing close to the same price as the OP.
