This thread is for skyteam, since you are looking for United you should be posting in the Star Alliance thread.

Yes if their is a schedule change on your original ticket

Delta stopover rules question. Arriving from UK into US, can I add on a domestic segment the next day (under 24 hours)?

I'm trying to book the following:

ORD>JFK>SVO>TLV>ORD

A few questions:

• This is a legal routing with Korean, see attached screenshot. Does Flying Blue allow this?
• Delta prices this out at 60,000 when mixing a domestic Delta flight and Aeroflot flights. Does Flying Blue allow mixed partner awards?
• Does Korean allow one way partner awards?
• When I search Korean's site for business they say that it's not available. Delta shows both Delta and Aeroflot segments available in business. PUTPAC?

I am looking to fly from NYC to PLS direct in February of 2018.  Delta has one of the only direct flights from NY. The cost is 50k miles rd trip. Is there a partner I could book it with that would be less points? (I can transfer amex, starwood and chase reserve points)

thank you!

no this is not saver. The saver price should be 35k RT with DL also bookable with AF for 30K RT

AeroMexico has a 1000=1600 point transfer on amex currently..can i book a Delta flight through them?

[Lou Bob]

Just put a Delta flight on hold with Korean. Agent said it's only on hold for 30 days....isn't it supposed to be up to 3 days before the flight?

I am trying to book a flight from NYC - OGG. I am seeing different award flights available on Alaskan website with either AS or VX. If its available on the Alaskan website does that mean i can book with Skypass for either 25k or 45k?

Trying to book TLV-SVO-JFK, on SU.

DL is showing availability, but FB says no inventory. How to solve?

Here's my suspicion. FB is using Amadeus. SU feed to Amadeus seems to be limited.

Is there a way to ask FB to look up SU inventory using Direct Access?

Yes, call them, ask them to manually request/long sell
