I'm contemplating booking a flight that departs next morning, and wanted to know if the following would work (I have UR that I need to transfer in, and don't want to pay the closing fee).
a) ask them to hold the tickets that I actually want, on the basis that the UR transfer takes a bit.
b) transfer UR to UA
c) when the transfer completes, book a different flight >21 days out
d) ask them to cancel my hold, and then switch my reservation myself online.
Would that work? (if TMI here, let me know and I'll delete it).
