But it looks Huge

Can I put a hand luggage in front of me (to be able to put my feet on it) by an exit row? (Not by take off & landing)
UA EWR-TLV if it makes a difference

YMMV.
depends which exit row, the one near the bathrooms they will probably ask you to clear that space (especially on the EWR-TLV route #MinyanFactory lol)

By the exit near the bathroom, but the seat closest to the wall.

you got yourself the(almost) perfect case of YMMV!
 :)
I'd give it a 60/40 that they'll allow it,

Booked MIL a basic economy flight on AA last night. Flight is scheduled for tonight. She was flying in for a funeral that was pushed off a day. The CSR claims the 24 hour cancelation policy doesn't apply to same day travel for BE. Is this actually the case? I'm going to HUCA, but wait time is 45min. Any chance the funeral being pushed will help with anything?

I believe she is correct and the 24hr policy does not apply to flights booked less than 7 days out.

Gotcha. I had done it a few times with non BE same day bookings, so I didn't think twice. Regardless, I called again and was told it is already canceled and scheduled for refund, so she must've had some sympathy after she hung up.

Looking at biz flights  ua nyc- tlv during low season winter. Using amex plat biz points.

 Seems the flights are much more than last year? Don't see anything less than $4000 for whatever dates I chose. Even was-tlv is very high.

Is it too early to book? They are just charging more?

Use GF and pick different dates. Prices seem to start at $3340 with DL/LY/UA. Likely even lower if you do a HC on the return.
