Nested tickets, segment drop
Hey all,
It's my first time pulling "tricks" on United, so I need some help
I have two trips (separate itins):
trip 1: XXX-IAD-ORD (day A)
trip 2: ORD-IAD-LHR (day A+1)
trip 2: LHR-IAD-ORD (day B)
trip 1: ORD-XXX (day B)
I don't really care about going to ORD at all (on any of those trips). Is it possible to sweet talk UA into anything that would make my life easier? (no status, no luggage, no money)

It's always possible if you get a gate agent in a great mood that's helpful, but technically they're definitely not supposed to put you on a direct or anything that's not at your origin. Can't hurt to try!
