update: finally got it done. It's a big pain because the system automatically triggers a reprice, so the rep has to call the support desk to get permission for each change.

Thanks for the update. I am glad it works at least.

Booked in Nov 2013 PRE Devaluation then canceled:

JFK - FRA - KIX LH F O

Can I change the date in May 2014
JFK - FRA - HND LF F O
Without the reprice? Im reading mixed reports from FT and dansdeals that you can  cities without change without a reprice, can anyone confirm this?!

I have a pre-devalue ticket fron NY-Europe UA-LH-LH-UA in business.
I tried playing around to see what changes can be made w/o triggering reprice.
I can make virtually any change w/o reprice to new chart. i.e NY-TLV LH w/date change, only 10K more per leg.
LAX-Europe no additional. NY-NRT UA-ANA only 10K more. NY-Europe LH-LH change to First, only 17.5K more.
(they do charge $100 change fee)

That's not what we call here without a reprice, sir.

When checking united expert mode/fare class for saver award availability with an explorer card linked, am I looking at

XN - Saver Coach Award
I - Saver Business Award

Is this right?

XN is always ≥ X, thus no need to check X.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Is it possible to have availability in X and not in XN?

How about he's looking for 8 award seats, in XN he only sees 7, but there's still one in X, totaling 8.

Zeh lo oveid kacha.
When a seat is taken from XN it goes away from X as well.
