Ask @yehuda to keep them reserved till the flight

If it is empty before the flight, will they give me a free upgrade from J to F ?

What if there is simply no way to catch the second leg if I don't take the first leg the night before?

2. PUTPAC/HUCA.

How do I book travel on UA EWR-LAX with SQ? It does not seem to show that option.

I have a ticked booked TLV-FRA-ORD-SFO in J and trying to change to FRA-SFO direct in F. Agent tried and said it can't be done because TLV-FRA is no longer available. Is there really no way for them to change one leg without loosing TLV-FRA?

They dont have to, but they can and sometimes will
If you think nobody cares about you... just forget to pay your credit card bill

If I have a afternoon award ticket, any chance they'll put me on earlier flight if there are open seats?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
