UA shows Avianca availability but cant book on UA. Phantom. AC shows that there are flights available i.e. the calender isnt white but no flights show up at all.

ETA UA supervisor was able to book it.

Btw for the future AC has major issues with AV, so they're of no help in this case

So what do you suggest for future searches?

So what do you suggest for future searches?

For an AV ticket? NH, EF, AV?

Anyone have experience with NH waitlists?

So I'm struggling with this:

Both UA and M&M are showing availability in J for the date I'm looking at for NYC-MUC on LH but AC does not. In conjunction with that I'm looking at MUC-TLV which only M&M shows nonstop availability.

So my options are:
A) 92k M&M plus $469.71
B) 70k UA +$5.60 plus 35k M&M + ~$173
C) 52k M&M + $501.60 plus 35k M&M +~$173 

Any input would be appreciated

Why not just fly y class from muc -tlv  as its fake j either way?

Except LH is showing the A350-900 on that route that day so i believe its real J

Click here to have United call you

The United line connects to the old Continental.com support desk, which has very helpful agents who have the ability to waive the phone booking fee for itineraries that can’t be booked online.  Plus there are rarely any hold times!

United and AC show 3 j seats available on UA105 on 9/27, but Asiana agents swear they can't see anything?

[mmgfarb]

Do any NA routes still have an LX 777 besides for NYC and ORD?

Links on DDMS are dead. This was a great item. Instant connection and better reps.

I need to fly TLV-NYC-TLV De. 20-25 (maybe 24 if no availability). I searched ANA and found for 104K TLV-ZRH-JFK; JFK-BOS-IST-TLV+ $450 in J
I am a little lost here, where else should I be looking? Is this a good deal points +fees?

That's a great deal.

Which *A member flies JFK-BOS?

Now I can't seem to find it anymore, I thought it was something combined with TK, maybe united?

United would be from EWR.
