Is there any way to search all of Southwest's routes to find the cheapest one (ala Matrix), or is manually checking each city the only way?

So I'm clueless when it comes to earning points on flights. Flying with air Nz, 1st leg is United. The air nz legs are status s and v. I am not yet signed up for air new zealand airpoints program. Should I credit points to my United account or air NZ? Would I get United points for all legs? Thx!

Anyone know if Ukrainian International Airlines is fussy about the weight of carry-ons? They say they have a limit of 7kg.

URGENT! I have a FB ticket for today on Delta and alitalia from JFK to TLV, and realized is switched the first and last names on the ticket. Is this a problem? Anything I can do?

AMOQ:
I think it is pretty random.  B’H just found the CX F space at 8pm EDT and it wasn’t there this morning.  I think it is worth checking at least twice daily, especially once inside two weeks before the flight.
I found that morning time in HK usually worked.
