I book last minute j from lax - jfk on United all the time.  Outside of holiday weekends don't recall ever failing.  Probably did 8 round trips in the last 6 months
More than 1 seat?

If a flight time on an award ticket gets changed am I able to cancel it without penalties? How long after the change do I have to cancel?

Usually will let you change/cancel if the time change is significant, +-2 hours.  Less than that usually won't do it.

Yyz-tlv would be AC, TLV-EWR could be united.
P.s. There has been some talk recently about availability not showing up.

Which airline would EWR to YYZ be?

Also, does YYZ count as a stopover when using miles?

How does it work with canceling an award ticket with no status? $200 per ticket to redeposit the miles? What about the taxes/fees?

Anyone have the answer for this.

Tonight (Tuesday) UA 91 was delayed till 7:00am on Wednesday. It was just cancelled. However there is still a 7am flight but with a new flight number of 2116. And everyone has to call in to get on that flight.

Why cancel the 91 flight and still keep the actually flight but with a new number? Ie, whats the point of the new flight number?
