So far 2 reps said no.. Case of HUCA or is it NO?

You need to end in Toronto if starting there. What you should be doing is YYZ-TLV, > JFK-YYZ.

You have the return backwards unless you just wrote it wrong. And your "return" flight can't be within Canada. Would need to be USA-Canada

thanks so much Chucksterace,
working fine.

May I ask a noob question. What's the benefit of booking via ANA ? Better redemption value ?

Any history of ANA asking for verification of account holder's relationship to the "Award User" ?

From their website "* You may be asked to provide documentation proving your family relationship with the member."

Thanks.

just for reference, i have been trying for two years to book two biz roundtrip mia- tlv
and have had no luck EVER finding two seats with a stay of two weeks or less using
United metal. I have been able to find lufthansa and swiss failry often but as known
they have pretty substantial YZ of about $1100 a ticket for the biz seats.

My points are expiring this july so if i dont find something " by miracle" over the
next few weeks i figure i will just buy, hopefully if still around, two seats on swiss or lufthansa and
pay the thousand per biz seat  since they are going to be dead miles anyway soon. rationalizing it as the
cost for my mistake of the tease of the great redemption rate.

Or book to Europe on united metal, then use avios/$ to tlv.
Added plus of checking out random city in Europe
