MR: Boarding pass problems! HELP?
Hey guys,
I'm on an MR tomorrow BWI->ORD->LAS->DEN->BWI (same day turn.) UA's website is only giving me the first three segments. What should I do? Is it just because it's >24 hours to the return leg?
thanks!

As a mileage runner who does segments to make 1K on United, I feel your pain.
What happened is your last flight departure time was outside the 24 hour check-in "window".
No problem, either at your first destination or at ORD, go to the RCC (or if no access a customer service desk), show them your itn, and they'll print your last BP. You might even try the easy check-in machines at ORD. Been there, done that.

You should have plenty of time to check in later today once your "return" flight gets inside 24 hours window. IME, .bomb sees your trip as a BWI-DEN RT so it gave you the option to check in for all your outbound flights. Later this evening DEN-BWI will open for check in and you'll be fine. JerseyJoe's advice also stands if you go to bed early

hey mcscruffy
- sorry to mislead you. I am born-and-raised from YYZ originally but I am living in BWI for the year (doing a Masters at Johns Hopkins.) .... so yeah, it's about 4 cpm, which is definitely unheard of ex-YYZ. I did an MR out of BUF one time...

Any UA Gate Agent at DEN should also be able to check you in and print out your BP for your last segment, if you're unable to print it out in other airports (sometimes you can't).

Depending on the flight times OP may be cutting it close to the checkin cutoff time if he/she waits until then. My suggestion (and what I always do in this situation) is to do the online checkin while en route using your laptop or cell phone and just approach the GA before the flight you don't have the BP for to get the remaining one(s).

hey guys,
thanks! just got back in home (miraculously, on time!) what a great day for an MR. just wish i'd planned meals better, since i didn't know united only serves snack-boxes even on the ORD-LAS and DEN-BWI legs! starving. gonna get me some crabcakes and a nattybo!
to answer the questions: i was able to check in online once under 24 hours (the DEN-BWI segment was the "outbound"). from there i printed out a departure management card for the DEN-BWI segment, which i traded with the dragon at the RCC in DEN for a boarding pass.
of an interesting note, I was E+ the whole day (owing to my *A G, I guess?)
cheers!
