Winner winner chicken dinner!
Your turn to create a challenge :)
Chicken dinner? But I wanted kosher skittles... :-\

Ok.
Challenge #2.

Price an award on UA.com with a open jaw from a stopover city. The open jaw cannot be to/from your origin or destination city but must be from a stopover along your route.
This may be an exercise in futility but I'd love to see it done.  :)

I don't have access to it now, but it should be constructable just like I wrote it.

I think UA.com thinks that VCE is the destination in your case, that's why it's allowing an OJ.
How long is the stay in CDG?

I am referring to something like this.

Yup, booked CLE-EWR-GVA-IST-TLV for a friend.
He's probably going to kill me once he comes back.

When I offer something like this for a friend of mine he kills me just for the offer  :P

Were you able to book it on UA.BOMB?

That would require an airport change=less than ideal.

Still works for me.  Try limiting your search to 3 segments so it doesn't bomb out.
