Quick question. I believe the answer is yes but just want to verify.
Wife award ticket phx-iah-mci. Then revenue ticket mci-ewr. Just confirming United will check bag all the way through to EWR? I know AA does but not a FF United flyer. Thx

Reports are that UA-UA interline (two separate tickets) is very challenging for the agent to do. it is theoretically possible but I would show up early to give the agent some time.

I did this a couple of years ago. No issues with respect to policy, but the agent took some time to marry the two segments/tickets and check bags all the way through. And by some time, I mean at least 10-15 minutes because she had to call a supervisor for help.
