Error in Booking Multi-Stop Itineraries

I hope this has not been posted on this thread somewhere, because did some searches and came back with nothing.

I'm trying to book a ticket via kayak.com, and I found the following itinerary:

01/15 UA7906 LIT-IAD dep0145p arr0448p
01/15 UA1762 IAD-CLT (operated by US) dep0740p arr0908p
01/15 UA2553 CLT-BDL dep1000p arr1156p

01/17 UA499 BDL-IAD dep0705p arr0829p
01/17 UA225 IAD-SFO dep0940p arr1239a+1

01/20 UA188 SFO-PHL dep1020p arr0640a+1
01/21 UA3204 PHL-SYR (operated by US) dep0737a arr0902a

The link took me to .bomb website, but it spits out an error message saying: "The flights you selected do not allow for sufficient connection time between flights. Please change your selection." but none of the connection times between the above flights are less then 52 minutes- which I think is legal.

Can anybody help? A UA newb here. Thanks.

Whenever this happens to me on .bomb I find it's because I haven't clicked the button alongside the actual flights I want to take. Go through the itinerary and make sure they haven't got you as selecting an illegal default flight.

Happy Christmas!

How are you pairing the flights? Lots of times that can be the different between it working and not working. Sometimes you have to type in each segment separately, or sometimes have to pair them differently, meaning something like LIT-CLT, CLT-BDL for the outbound, for example.

this happened to me on an MR itin... I could not figure out how to book it (it was a 25 minute connection in/out of cld). I just called CS (and got Honolulu) and they checked if if it was a valid connection and reserved it for me.

Thanks for the replies.

I guess I better call CS to get it booked. Like I said, the shortest connection time in between those flights is 52 minutes- which is plenty of time to connect.
