i thought united used to say that you cant have a stop over on an itinerary only in the US but now it says
Quote
A stopover is permitted on roundtrip award travel only. One stopover is permitted, unless otherwise noted. Additional mileage may be required for Saver Awards within the mainland U.S., Alaska and Canada.
anyone know what they charge for a stop over
anyone have an answer

So I finally had time to call United. So far I had one rep that seemed to be ok with the change but I got disconnected. Second rep said I can't do it because I am going back in the wrong direction. I asked him to try anyways and he said he did and it won't work.
The 3rd rep came back saying you can't do it either.

  Any number better to call than others for this type of thing?

Not having any luck.

No rep would book it for me. One actually got as far as having it show up in the reservation. I saw it on my end as well but it wouldn't actually ticket.

        Guess I will just add on a ticket to LA or somewhere routing actually allows. Oh well!

Technically, no.

When you say technically that means it is possible just you'll have 4 letters stuck in your head HUCA

According to PG and Dan, HUCA with UA = anything is possible.

Sort of.  Calling while flying in middle of a itin makes things work much better than trying to pull shitck while initially booking.  You may have better luck fooling UA.com

I have yet to succeed being confirmed in the cockpit, but some dear agents have spent hours on the phone with their supervisors trying to figure out why the system won't give me that seat

That may be, but the people who awarded you compensation are not the people who refused to book you in the cockpit...
