Using a GPU on a multi-leg trip
Searched and couldn't find it. I am flying from EU to the US and connecting to another US city. Think: FRA-EWR-CLT (not the trip, but you get the idea). I want to use a GPU - what happens if it clears the EWR-CLT route while not clearing the FRA-EWR route? Do I lose the GPU? Is there any way I can have them apply the GPU to the FRA - EWR route only?

Thanks all...

1. You don't have to be obscure. You can just give the routing.

2. The GPU will be re-deposited.

3. Yes, call and ask an agent.

IME UA will redeposit the GPU even if the domestic leg clears and the international segment does not.

Yeah... that's near impossible even with the routing.
