United award flights

Does it make sense that a RT EWR-ORD flight is 50k miles? Thanks.

Yes if there's no saver available.

Thanks. But I don't understand: there is a solid blue line on my date, which indicates saver availability. What's going on here? Can you take a look? I'm looking at EWR-ORD July 5 or 6.

Is it still possible to check for economy nonstop saver awards flights only on the United site like EWR to TLV route? Most times even when I check off nonstop box and even if I see saver award availability with their marked lines when I go to actual flight details it is not the 42500 saver award miles

 In the old United interface if you found a specific date with economy saver nonstop award flight and search using that date  specifically it would pull up all economy saver nonstop dates; I cant seem to figure how to do that with new interface

any ideas

how did you do it on new interface?

I booked a flight MLE-IST-TLV. The IST-TLV leg was only available on a flight with a long layover. If a better flight opens up on that leg, can I switch to it for free?

UA will probably charge you a change fee (unless you get a nice agent )
Your best bet is to go over to the ticketing desk in the TK lounge, and they will put you on the earlier flight if there are seats, regardless of weather or not it opens up for miles.

have a flight with a slight scheduling change, which they keep emailing me to confirm, I haven't hoping to use it in the event that I cancel. Any downside to not confirming?

If you reconfirm your ticket they might charge you a $75 close in fee

I have tried numerous times and it has never worked for me with the new United interface. 

not sure what else I can do?  when you got it to work you plugged in the specific date that had United saver economy nonstop and searched that way?

Here I was thinking this kind of thing only happened on virgin/alaska... I really have to get back in the game.
(Though to be fair, the first class portion of it is hardly anything to write home about. Its a 737 to Denver. Still though.)

Is that based on actual experience?

I had no luck trying to change flights at IST.

Is this good? Sorry, but I'm not very experienced...

My goal is cheap, not perks so I don't care about class type

[12HRS]

its good depending on the cash price of the tickets.

also get the close in fee waived
