Does it have to do w/ taking advantage of LX's different fare class definitions???

Either LX switched their 343 lie flat J on the ZRH-TLV route and Dan convinced UA to put him on Ua 84 instead.
Or he convinced them to do it because they couldn't book LX F when it showed as available...

Booked a phantom LX J on the F party day. It got stuck in SHARES as waitlisted and an ESD agent moved us to UA nonstop with her apologies

If you paid for it, why not use 7.5k BA instead?

It just dawned on me -- an hour after reading your first post -- that you are flying to Albany to take the Bar Examination. I kept thinking that there must be some kind of alcohol-consumption destination, known as The Bar, and for some reason you were excited to fly there!

B'Hatslacha....
