I have a pure SN flight (JFK-BRU) issued on SN tkt stock. Can I call SN to change it to new flights involving UA and LX with no SN flights?

Its an unrestricted tkt.

It's the nature of the WP function. It's designed to automatically look for the lowest possible combination of fare rules, validating carrier, etc. for the flights and classes used.

Can we expect a waiver for flights to Israel? Lots of people canceled.
