Ended up booking it from EWR and not going to visit ATL. My itinerary is the following:
7/8
UA 253 EWR-ORD PMUA 752
UA 907 ORD-FRA PMUA 772
Return
7/15
UA 945 FRA-ORD PMUA 772
UA 243 ORD-EWR PMUA 320
As mentioned earlier, would someone please confirm that with Silver status, that I would be eligible for E+? Is that just for the domestic portion or is ORD-FRA eligible as well?
What are the chances of getting E+? As of now I have no seat assignment for ORD-FRA. (There are no more E- Seats.)
Thanks!!

E+ at T-24
FYI there's award space on the 7/8 LH EWR-FRA nonstop in both Y and F. Or on either UA EWR-FRA nonstop in Y. Any reason for the ORD stop each way?

This is why I wont go below Plat or maybe even bite the bullet and keep my 1K.I do a tremendous amount of changing my award tkts and going forward its gonna add up very fast. Once I use up my Ms of miles then I can start to look to see if there are any greener pastures

As FRA-EWR goes. The only available flight available for the return was FRA-ORD-EWR

I would avoid any aircraft that's coming out of SFO. You will miss your connection in ORD. Use an SDC option to switch to an earlier flight to ORD. (Or switch to a non-stop if it is available.)
I don't mind EWR, but my pet peeve is that there are no clear signs that direct you to the appropriate place to check in. There are signs for upper level check-in and mid-level check-in, but no explanation as to which level you should choose, and what's where on each level. To answer your question, you're silver, so just go to the Premier check-in area on the mid-level. They accept domestic and international baggage.
Be sure to check in at home, at T-24, to get the seat you want. You may not get a boarding pass, because it's an international flight, but you do want to use OLCI to get your E+ seat.

I was told once that if any part of my itinerary includes an international segment, even if not the first flight - to check in at international anyway. It should not make too much difference in reality though.

At SFO, they highly discourage domestic only itins at international check-in, have heard it is difficult for bags to be sent to the domestic bag system for the international check-in. That may be a SFO specific issue.
