So I booked a rt on United using ANA
LHR-EWR-CLE-EWR-LHR
I've already flown the first segment (LHR-EWR-CLE) is there any way for me to change the second segment now and what fees should I expect to pay? If it is just the 3000 im more than happy to pay
kk
So cannot change routing or really anything else just dates >:(
I currently have flights 4/29 from cle-ewr-lhr, (UA) I flew the first half Biz so payed biz fare (67k as oppose to 48k) but no availability now, and they claim cannot change within 4 days of departure. Anyone have experience bending this rule?
As of now they've been so unaccommodating that my hopes are not high.

3rd update- So biz saver opened up today I figured I'd HUCA anyway even though every rep so far told me no changes within 4 days and got it upgraded  ;D
So with enough HUCA you can change within 4 days (I got new eticket) even though it says otherwise online
Another HUCA success story 
Now I just need this http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=39745.msg796534#msg796534

Since I have no miles in my account, I can't see the fee, only the mileage.  Does anyone know the fee for YUL - ORD - YUL?  It's 38,000 miles and ???    On business - no economy open.

Check ITA it should be about the same.

You can't, but you use it to check what the YQ would be for airlines that charge YQ

How?

Ill give an example, using ANA if you have no miles it won't show YQ. But if you wanted to know what the YQ charge you would be you would go to ITA and put in for example JFK-FRA (on LH) and what it says for YQ would be the YQ charge..

But for an airline that no YQ is charged then just look at the taxes.

How quickly do miles transfer from MR to ANA?


If I see a good redemption on ANA, do I book with them or not?  If not, how?

How long does MR>ANA take?

And if booking for myself is the booking process easy? (Once heard foreign airlines can be a pain)

figured.. Thanks for all your help. Hopefully I can soon start coming back more as well.. Almost settled on my end.

Is it worth using ANA to book?  For flights on which airlines?

Yes, For example NY-TLV on UA is great. Y=60k, J=90k (roundtrip). No YQ.
