Any current way to hold a United award booking since the old way (PP) doesn't work anymore?

Thanks!

If my current PNR is EWR-HNL, would it be possible to add on HNL-LIH or no?

And if I'm in F for EWR-HNL and I add the second segment, will I get free bags on the second flight?

If the bags are tagged to go all the way through then yes.

Will they be tagged all the way through or YMMV?

the issue is they won't tag them all the way. you have to manually recheck them, per reports of other DDFers.

If they're on the same ticket, they'll tag them all the way through.

Why should they?

You really think they give a damn that you are a Kohen?

some times you can get a helpful rep specially when they see that i have a direct flight and i'm willing to take any other rout though i agree they dont give a damn if i'm kohen or a priest i guess i will be lucky if they dont charge me a change fee so far there is availability on  other flights
