no0b question. When I signed up for ana I never got an email confirmation with my member 3. How do I find my member number and/or log in?

Is there no forgot username/password link, hopefully you wrote your emailaddress correctly.

I realized by chance that there is a LJU-TLV flight with Adria.

For flights to the usa, that would be equal to at least 2 stops, but might be a good idea for a stop.

Yes there is a forgot password link but it requires you to input your AMC (?) # which I'm assuming is your ana number. Problem is that ANA doesnt send a confirmation email with your member # in it so if you didn't save it when you signed up there's no way to retrieve it online IMHO

Well, if you wrote your email address incorrectly, you can sign up again, with the correctly spelled one, and it won't be a dupicate.

Which *A program would let me book JFK-IST-TLV, OCT 9th?
United doesn't.

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #407 on:** September 16, 2012, 04:37:20 AM »

Some programs allow for more availability when giving extra miles.

How would i search on United.com an award ticket, going from NYC to TLV on April 24 coming back the 29th at which time i would like to stop over in "any" city for a full day.
for example can put in europe? or do i need to search every city separetly?

Need to search each city separately

How likely is it for United to open up saver award availability for EWR-TLV direct flights 11/21/12-11/28/12?
Any idea? Is it a big risk?

Because right now I can get saver award PHL-TLV for those dates. For the way there I will have to buy a separate ticket for NYC-PHL and on the way back it is not a problem because the stopover is in EWR.
Is there a chance that I can convince an agent to book the PHL-TLV and ask her to add a EWR-PHL still at saver award?

Thanks in advance.

Don't see why you wouldn't be able to add EWR-PHL at a later point.

Hello all. First time posting here.

So my company is sending me to Sinagpore and Hong Kong for 2 weeks.
Booking from EWR to SIN via Singapore Air.
Should i sign up for a singapore airlines membership or can the miles flown be credited to my United membership.
On my way back from Hong Kong i would like to go to Tel Aviv for Friday and back to EWR on Sunday.
Using ITA to find flights , they all come up as $5000 or more.
Using United to search I come up with flights that land too late on Friday.
I've tried ANA to search but the partner airlines is grayed out for some reason.
any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

On ANA you have to search 1st for a flight that ANA flies, e.g. NY to Tokyo, then you can change it to any other airport or flight you want, read the original post on page 1.

@Dan
Why not add into your flying to Israel summary to fly to Europe on US metal during low season for 35k, and then check for an Avios or other ticket into Israel? I believe the 5k discount for card members would also apply.

The summary is just for booking a single ticket. People complain as it is that it's too much for them to comprehend.
Feel free to leave a comment there though, maybe it'll help someone out.

I try to avoid the comment section. It give me a headache...

This isn't a star alliance question, but since there is no OW master thread:

Anyone know how fluid Cathay F availability is?

I only see one date that is open in May 2013 HKG-JFK (the 14th), and I'm looking for something between 15th and 23rd.
