Yes, NH has extra space on LX. Not sure if it matches  exactly to M&M though.

Also, EF can only search LX via M&M and not what's available to other *A.

NH is also showing what appears to be phantom availability on CA

Could I book CA code-share with *A miles
For example CA code-shares a flight with LY from TLV-PEK could I book it with any *A partners?

Is there a beginner, step by step directions, on how to search star alliance availability on ANA ? I keep on getting messed up, and even after a few google searches, I can't figure it out.

Which workaround?

The OW trick no longer works

But if your talking about the ANA trick for searching availability, you no longer need, they allow you to search for partner availability without points

To make sure I understand your question, you wanna know if a flight operated by El Al and it has a CA flight number if it can be booked with *A miles like UA, no.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

Is there anyway to combine NYC-WAW and WAW-TLV On LOT into one award when the stopover will be more then 24 hrs. or do I have to book it as two separate flights ?

I don't want to stop over in WAW on the way back, so it's going to be one way.

You don't have to stop at the same connecting point on the inbound as the outbound.
