Repost!! (No, I'm not J... but it still annoys)

EWR-TLV can be a tough route for award availability, best way is to check a few times a day.

Krisflyer or any partner can only book whatever United has available in saver.

Book the economy and you can upgrade closer in if J opens up for a small fee  if within 21 days . That's if you want to be sure you have a reservation . That's what I did   GL

on partners too? or only UA ?
Can you do upgrade on line?

[PETERP]

On partners if J opens up. After u see it available you have to call to change and pay difference in points, plus change fees unless u have status

not sure why you changed your mind.   Here is the official united policy

Changing the cabin, award type, or changing a flight to a different airline, regardless of departure date(3)   $75

This is pretty clear 75 dollars Regardless of departure date so if you change airlines like I pointed out from Turkish airlines to United within or outside 21 days you get charged.  Now if Dan is saying that can be waived if you call then that is something else.  Can someone confirm that is what Dan means but not sure why you backed down from the official United policy

Getting back to this point - So what is the way to get them to waive the fee for changing the airline?

How do you get the US based customer service reps?

How do you get the US based customer service reps?

Ask for them . Simply tell them you insist on speaking to someone in the States . I do it all
the time , cause offshore ruined 2 reservations .

[itsyehuda]

I've done it for many people via the callback line.

Would you say this is the method to get the most capable/accommodating reps? If not, what is?

About how long does it take for UA to ticket partner flights?

After how long should I be concerned if it hasn't ticketed yet?
