I'm new to international travel :)

looking to take advantage of the europe mileage award sale to get to israel using the free stopover.

I was thinking
LAX>ZRH
ZRH>TLV>SFO

does this make any sense? how would i convince the agent that it is normal :/

Last I checked the award sale doesn't allow stopovers, only open Jaws

45k UA if you book now.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

No
If I see saver coach available now for a date I want in August, should I try waiting for business or should I not risk it?
