Anyone know if the 24 calculation window on United's website is 24 hours or next business day?

Any way to get from IST to SAW without a visa?

They were not for a short while, but that’s since been resolved.

Is there a best time of day to check QF website for upcoming CX F availability? That is, when are they most likely to update F availability, or is it random and unpredictable?

First time traveling after GE. How does it work? Do I need to carry my GE card with me? Is there a separate line for GE card holders?

If I don’t know my trusted ID at the time of flight booking, can I add it later, of course before travel?

No

When entering the US, yes

For the use of TSA pre check, you can add it later. For Global Entry it isn't necessary.

 Anyone book with travelgenio (through skyscanner)?  I found a air Canada flight which is $75 cheaper than on air Canda website, is it worth it to book straight from the air Canada or save $75 a ticket,I am booking 3 tickets.
TIA

Booked 2 OW tickets and outbound flight (on AA with Avios) was cancelled due to snow in NYC tomorrow.  The return (on NK) is on 3/22 after the snow and NK said too bad.  Any suggestions on how to get some type of credit?

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.

Bummer.
I have no experience with NK but aside from HUCA, I don’t think any recourse.  Purchased with a CC that has trip protection? Maybe the CSR? (I also have no experience with using that, either.)

ETA:  Maybe when you HUCA, speak to supervisor, explain that they will likely need your seat due to anticipated rebooking from all the cancellations and IRROPS on 3/21. You were calling out of concern for other pax and wanted to be make your seat available in the easiest way possible, ie, refund it and then NK can resell/use it.  Just a thought.

That would have been nice. Alerts in QF for CX? Or were the alerts in CX?

wandr.me used to let you set up alerts if you paid $2.99 a month. The alerts would tell you when Cax was available to book through partners.

Thanks!  Credit card would have definitely been a good idea.  Was able to get this refunded by contacting spirit through their website!
