I guess not, but I need to help the person buy the miles for the flight, and figured that UA was simple.
What else do you see?
I he doesnt mind a stop over i saw a lot of options, Korean usually haves good availability, did you search?

What will the fee be for booking a one-way business class ticket to Europe from USA through United before Feb. 1 and changing it to a roundtrip on a partner airline to Europe from USA after Feb. 1?
Please help! Trying to maximize miles!

Switching to a partner would likely result in a reprice.

Didn't Aeroplan start allowing OW? Why do I get a message on some routes that This itinerary is not eligible for a One-Way Reward.

All third party PNR's are listed on United under "view more" (unless TG doesnt).

You have the right to live wherever you choose, and United can't dictate that :-).

Why do you think that changing your address will decrease the mileage needed?

If it's for a 3rd party booking, you are asking for trouble. For yourself, it's probably ok.

Israeli M and M accounts get 2 region award pricing instead of 3 region. Much cheaper.
