I'm seriously considering it (need wife's permission). Anyone else? \

Can I request that you don't post this routing on the main site? And if you decide to, that you wait some time so the pricing isn't dead when I make a decision.
Impressive find. I would go (once I better understand the benefits) if it wasn't overnight. Not sure if wife would be cool with the overnight though.

Want to give a quick rundown of the benefits of *G?
Or link to where you talked about it on DDMS?
1 extra free bag and free lounge access.

The fare likely has a set expiration date.
Any TAs able to pull it up?

Though im guessing the security clearance means little if you have TSA precheck

Indeed.
Either way this is a great fare for *G. And in F no less. If you're going to go for it I'd lock it in before it expires.
Or do a weeklong fare lock if you're on the fence.

How long is the PP fare lock valid for?

Which you have?

I'm just not sure. We don't go often where we need extra bags and is lounge access really worth $800? (Factor in tolls and parking at LGA.)

It's not per year. It officially doesn't expire as long as your account is active, though that can change at any time. The bag benefit is significant IMO. And, keep in mind that you get 20k miles. So the net cost is closer to $550 for the status

Right, I got that. Something about crediting a paid flight every 36 mo's to your Aegean account. Did not think about the 20K miles, that's nice.

Lol Going to my in laws in Denver is usually SW so bags won't be an issue, but I guess you're right.

Do passengers flying with get the status benefits? People who put my FFN on their res?

$8.99 locks it for a week.
If you're thinking about this and need more time it's a no-brainer.

$8.99 is that much to buy yourself a week of thinking time?
For all you know this fare expires sometime today.

Are their miles worth anything? How's their chart?

I called them today TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

She says buisness class is TLV-NYC RT  90k miles

I asked if I find on united web site avl. if that means I could book with them or do they have different avl.,she told me I can't see award booking on united I could only see paid flights on united web site.

I told her to leave her job because she doesn't know what she is talking about and driving us crazy.
