First Class from TLV using miles
« on: November 19, 2012, 07:33:17 AM »
When redeeming miles on United from TLV to NYC the first class rate is 150,000, and it's a stopover.
The only thing is when flying the connection from TLV to EUR (anywhere in Europe) there is no first class, so 1. why are they charging the full first calss fare when its only first class from EUR and 2. is there a way to get around this?
