Yes.
Fancy. I just figured that route wouldn't be the top model.

I just feel like flights to Israel/tons of Jews get a lower quality product. (And Elal doesn't help the cause too much.) Obviously, I'm wrong and glad to hear it.

EWR-TLV was COs most profitable route.
Probably was COs longest route with twice daily service.

Same plane config that CO has been using on the route for years.

Outbound is only useful for extreme daredevils.
Return is gone already.

The fact that DL came out with a much nicer product didn't affect them?

DL is downgrading (or up?) The route from a 747 to their 777.
UA still has this route twice daily.
I have asked my UA Sales rep why the don't give any waivers on this route, and was answered, well our plans is full anyways, no need to

All that is kinda my point. The seats are going to sell anyway, so I thought that the airline's mindset might be, "Well, why should we waste our money on keeping these planes up-to-date as people will still buy these seats anyway?"

They are as up to date as all United aircrafts.

Is booking from ur mileage plus account to another person (different last name) a problem?
