Of course he remembers. He is not senile  ;)

If the transatlantic flight is on UA then YQ shouldn't be too high. I think its 37k. Cancellation policy is good I think 3000 miles. You cant book a reservation within 4 days. ( Not sure about cancellation within 4 days)

Indeed I usually do, but this time is one of those rare occasions.

How long does MR>ANA take?

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

Miles posted!!!

Just saying.

I think for historic reasons it should stay the same. In some minds it would always remain Continental

Would obviously prefer without. That could be a few hundred dollars per ticket, right?

TPG has a chart with expected YQ for a bunch of ANA partners. I didn't see any nonstop United NYC-TLV availability for the entire year when I looked yesterday.

YQ ?

Fuel surcharges. Some airlines will make you pay the surcharge on award tickets.

So basically the answer is that you will have to pay between $200 and $700 to realistically be able to book a rewards business flight.
