Better than pre-deval pricing for ex TLV ;)

not related to deval but general united award question.. if i currently have two one ways that i booked separately as the became available jfk-tlv, tlv-jfk, can i combine them in to one RT so i can add an extra domestic leg? TIA
Not possible.

HUCA. I did it once, but took a couple of calls to find the agent who would do it.  The agent couldn't combine the trip into one reservation, but was able to get me the extra domestic leg.

All depends on how it's programmed in and as I said before the deval and as Lucky said yesterday it all depends on the IT and that has nothing to do with what they actually planned/wanted
Quote from: Lucky
Or maybe they just couldn’t figure the IT out, which I guess is the most likely explanation.

I was on the United website and selected a saver award economy, clicked on it, got the error screen and had to start over. Of course saver isn't available anymore. Any chance of it opening again? It's for April 3.

Nice.
I got that to work last year pricing out slightly lower and ending up in BKK, but it was fickle as it didn't price it out for me properly each time.
But w/ the increased rates, it's good to see it still available.

any time I change the airline international I'm automatically changing the connecting city so there is always a reprice?
