No. XN inventory is the only supplemental there is. It's either you see it or you don't.

ok thanks. plat gets free award travel change fee so i guess i just have to hope for something to open up. ill keep checking....i remember being used to see how many seats were left in a certain fare class. do u by chance know how to access that information?

If united extented the life of a mileage ticket for more then 12 months, can I still change my itenarary?
It's a international ticket from ewr-tlv-tlv-ewr when I wanted to add a stopover to lax they said the whole ticket will cancell is that true?

Sometimes when you click on a EWR-HNL flight, there are 3 cabins listed and sometimes only 2. Does that mean there's no real F on the 2 cabin flights?

There is no F on 2 cabin flights. (Obviously I'm not referring to domestic F)
Check the seatmap and you'll know which ones have flatbeds.

I don't believe there is any two-cabin plane with a "real F."

Ok, I didn't get my message over clearly.

Most of the time when you search EWR-HNL, you see 2 price options as picture 1 shows. When you click on View Seats, you'll see picture 2, which shows what I imagine to be lie-flat beds in F. But sometimes, when you search the route, you see picture 3. (taken from a different route because I couldn't find a date that actually pulled up 3 cabins for HNL)

So, which has real F?

Likely because it is showing connecting flights via ORD or IAH that have 3 cabins and it needs space on the page to display that. Scroll down next time you see that. ;)

So EWR-HNL direct is always 2 cabins? And is it lie-flat if the seat map shows that image?

Which is a better value? TLV-NYC business:

1) 52K LH + $292 YQ & fees (LX via ZRH which has better J cabin TLV-VIE)
2) 80K UA + $77 fees (OS via VIE)

Per seatguru looks pretty much the same, both are mini open suites, though the one thing the 747 has over the 777 is they have wifi onboard.

Can I  book a multi segment as VCE-FRA-NYC with lees 24H stopover from 2 UA accounts but avoid extra YQ?

(yes, if booked as 1 its only 30k, but there is no availability, so im booking one segment biz and one eco, but would like to use 2 accounts)

Correct, but taxes on VCE-FRA-NYC is  $80 and as 2 segments is $80+ $127
