Availability showing as 7 saver award flights available. I transferred points to SQ and will take 24 hours any way to reserve 2 seats? should I book them with united then cancel within 24 hours so hopefully that will put them back into the "pool" and be able to reserve them via SQ?

Like an idiot I waited a day for miles to transfer and now they are all gone:(

If there is showing 9 "R" availability any odds of saver business opening up (assuming that means there is allot of availability)?

they only release up to 9 seats at a time but you can use united expert mode to check how many are available
see this DDMS post for more info http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/44505

Do you have a united card?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I have a united partner award booked on Thai, which I need to cancel.

It's in a few months from now so obviously I'm hoping for a schedule change - any ways around $200 cancellation and redeposit (40K mile redemption), or is Thai one of those airlines that changes schedules often?

TIA

Type in LAX (all airports) to BOS for tonight and from SNA there are 5K flights. Looks like a glitch to me.

If you book a united flight, do you get the miles of the distance of the trip or the miles of what the trip cost? Going to TLV-EWR RT..
