No. If something ANA will let you know that they need proof. But I think that you're close enough to the flight that you don't have to worry.
Ok thanks, I'll keep an eye out.
If u work for a living, why kill urself working?

I'm looking at an itin
ewr-lhr (ua)
lhr-fra (lh)
fra-lhr (lh)
lhr-ewr (ua)

1)What will yq be, for united it is low but will the lh flights bring it up? Also only doing this to get out of UK fee- will this work?
2) What I really need is cle-ewr//ewr-lhr//fra-lhr-(ewr-)cle When I try this routing (There is avail for every step) it says I cannot stopover in orgin country. I also got problems with ewr-lhr//fra-lhr-ewr and ewr-lhr-fra-lhr-ewr-cle and even cle-ewr-lhr-fra-lhr-ewr-cle
Suggestions?

Suggestions?
So here is what I got after calling
EWR-LHR-EWR 63k+$190.80
EWR-LHR-ORD-CLE 68k+$301.80
EWR-LHR//FRA-LHR-EWR 68k+$238.90
EWR-LHR-FRA-LHR-ORD-CLE 68k+$373.80
CLE-LGA/EWR-LHR-ORD-CLE 68k+$307.40
CLE-LGA/EWR-LHR//FRA-LHR-ORD-CLE 68k+$250.10

The answer to 2) is that within departing country you can only have connections NOT stopovers and that you cannot pass through departure city enroute to final dest (hence the change to ORD). ewr-lhr//fra-lhr-ewr worked.

k so I would like to hold this but they keep claiming cannot hold if not enough miles in account. (Super dumb rule, as that is exactly what I am trying to accomplish, but I will not tranfer on the chance the maybe avail will still be there 2-3 days later)
So, any suggestions (I know HUCA)? or does anyone have 68k in thier account that doesnt mind holding for me?

Is it just me? I get an error page ('this page cannot be displayed') when clicking 'request international flight awards' that comes up in tiny print on the 'using miles' page. It worked in the past.

ANA now shows the taxes and YQ without having enough miles in the account.
The search sucks now though :(

I got it to work, now there is a search from the main page, which didnt exist a while ago.

But still not working 100% for me.

Does anyone know how many miles would a one-way UA TLV-EWR  economy using the workaround be?

Based on new routing rules not sure it would still work, and even if it did being that it is region based and they only have rt prices it would prob cost rt price

No YQ trans-Atlantic. (And I should clarify - United awards don't have YQ. ANA passes along the YQ that United charges trans-Pacific)

For lack of a better place, figured I'd post this here.

Very solid write up of the new ANA award chart and YQ charges.
