I don't know which sites I could refer which not. Google "List and Description of All United Airlines Fare Classes".

Us it possible to get a clueless rep to piece together a return from Europe to NYC via TLV with a 12 hour stop for without an increase in miles?

Do you get a free bag checked (if you have the United explorer card) , when booking an award ticket, and using the card to pay the $5 fee ?
Pleas hold. Your call will be answered in the order it was received.

Doctors note? Or a good reason you cancelled? Will knock it down to $50.

Go to united.com/refunds
  I believe you can do it online. A doctor's note helps.

When making a RT booking which is in the 21 days of dept. i will pay just 1 close in fee, VS when making a RT in 2 one ways lets say NYC-TLV TLV-NYC which haves to be done like this bec. they open just close to the flight, so im paying 2 times the close in fee, is there any way after i complete my trip, to get back 1 close in fee?

What happens when a waitlisted flight approves you? I just got the waitlist update confirmation email, saying I can now fly home non stop. But in the months of waiting we made plans for the stopover city, so I'm not sure I want this flight anymore.

Can I decline without reissuing my ticket?

Inaccurate. It's totally luck of the draw who you will get through to.

Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But is it worth risking going to jail for fraud for $150?

Your ticket has to be "reissued" either way. But when you call, you can tell them you'd rather keep your old flights, and ask them to reissue it as it was.

I was able to keep all my seat assignments with partner airlines.
