Hi all,

Trying to get united to price EWR -> TYO (dest) -> FRA (layover) ->TLV (stopover) -> EWR
I can find availability on all the individual flights, but when I string them together in the multiple destination tool, it errors out.
I can connect up to TLV, but adding the return segment to EWR seems to throw an error every time.
The layover in FRA is <24hr, so this show work according to the fare rules?

Thanks

I would guess that legally you can't cross two oceans on one ticket especially crossing the atlantic twice when your dest is the pacific, ahem... But UA does not really have any routing rules so with the right agent you should be able to get it done.

Well, actually only crossing each ocean once. EWR-TYO is over the pacific, TYO-TLV is not over any ocean, and TLV-EWR is over atlantic ;)
Has anyone had luck with booking this online?
