Will a change from TLV-VIE-FRA-JFK to TLV-FRA-JFK booked now with the current mileage levels result in a reprice?

Nothing is clear as of now. As AJK keeps on saying BSHEM UA insider, everything besides the changing the dates will result in a reprice.

Considering the upcoming award chart changes, how far in advance can you fly? I know you have a year of date changes, but when does that start? From the day of booking, or form the original date of travel?

For example, can I book a RT flight to Israel now for 80k for a trip in December of 2014, and then be able to change the date to any time until December 2015, or can you only change it a date up until January 2015 for example?

All travel must officially be completed within one year of booking.

If it would work, it would require a lot of HUCA. They just don't have what to give you. With UA themselves I had a good experience.

Same account? Or two different accounts?

Would 2 accounts have better chances?

Probably not, as mentioned above its a matter or how much space they actually have.

Only difference it will make is in terms of making calls, and who you'll be doing the talking for. It might be harder to convince a rep that you tried booking twice from your account, vs. you and someone else both ticketing at the same time, and one worked but the other didn't.
