Either way, your itinerary leaves you with no usable time in lhr. I really think something needs to change

True, better off just deleting LHR.

How can I go to Europe and not set foot in England?

I changed the ZRH-LHR leg to leave a few hours earlier.

I'm looking at my reservation on United and it suddenly says 140k + ~$600. It's def a mistake but it's already ticketed for 200k. Is there a way to cancel old ticket (booked < 24 hrs ago) without losing reservation and book the current price? Any chance it works?
