No worries.... I thought you're looking to fly with United so I found a date.....

Thanks for your efforts truly appreciated

I was only trying to point AA availability vs. United on this route as you well know by now

What happen when I downgrade from business to economy, do I get back the points difference? Is there a charge?

I want to change the date of travel. I am premier 1K. origination and destination remains same. date and carrier changes based on reward availability. previously it was turkish now it will be lufthansa. will united charge me additional 20000 miles for it?

I currently have the following booked.

3-19 JFK-WAW-PRG
3-23 PRG-FRA-RZE
3-24 RZE-FRA-JFK-LAX

I want to cancel the return as I booked PRG-DXB-JFK on EK for $1900.

I woukd like to keep the PRG-RZE flughts as well.

I am told that I vant gave a stopover on a oneway, which I understand. I asked UA to keep those flights and charge more miles. They said they would need to cancel the flights and release to inventory, and chances are they wouldn't come back.

Are they able to keep them in my ticket and just charge me more?

last year you could book a tlv-ewr award in biz about 2-3 hours before the flight when they would open a seat. is that still true?

If they open up space, yes.

Do they open up as much space as last year, no.

Read your signature... Just call in saying you wanna cancel the return flight (they may wanna charge a fee) make sure you get Philippine Rep you have a chance she will not notice the stopover on the departure.

Moshe are you booked in J or Y? Maybe we can arrange a DO

It will cost you an Additional 15/30K miles if you do it as a separete resarvation. Also space is very limited on the FRA-RZE flight.

J are you on the LO flight?

I would pay an extra 15K or even 30, however there are no seats available. I want to keep my seats and just pay more if need be.
