I think your plan for the Chasam Sofer is cutting it close. It assumes that your plane arrives on time, that there is no traffic/construction on the highway and the fellow who has the keys will be right there when you call him.

5 hours should be enough to get there and back from VIE. IIRC its 45 minute bus ride each way.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

You should do some research regarding driving the border from Belarus to Lithuania. IIRC, there can be delays, but I might be mistaken.

We had major issue... we had a return flight from vno originally at 4pm but the airport is closing for renovation july and august. We got pushed to 220pm from kun which is 2 hours earlier and 1 hour further away than vno. (theres no united saver award available later that day)

If flights are still available, it might be worth it to change the itinerary to include the VIE-KRK leg and save 15k.

+1, my first thought when I saw the itinerary. Unless UA didn't bring it up as one.

I'm not following. All I said was that your first 2 flights could be booked for 30k United points. JFK-VIE(connection)-KRK.
