I've been searching on UA.com for a flight from Tlv-bkk in late July, early aug. There are no direct flights showing but when I search for a paid flight on matrix, a Thai (star alliance member) shows up as a direct flight operated by elal. Is there any star alliance member that would allow me to book this as a Thai award ticket or since it is operated by elal, it's not possible to book it thru star alliance?
