(Very ridiculous, almost no saver award!)


Is it my imagination, or is there literally not one single award seat (economy or biz) available on UA direct EWR-TLV for the ENTIRE NEXT YEAR at Saver level?! >:(

It's one thing for them to cheap out, and have only a few scattered dates available... but I'm seeing literally nothing. It's like X and I class no longer exist. Am I missing something?

No s***, Sherlock. >:(

Can whoever is able to, please lend me a hand and tweet United about the lack of award seats EWR-TLV? Maybe the power of lots of people complaining will get them to fix it...

the miles came in this morning, Sunday, from chase, i think most probably late sat night there is updating among alot of sites and it won't go through.

Also probably not good to apply for cc if you are expecting an immediate approval.

It's old news that LH has been restricting TATL J space more than 6 months out.
Unlikely a UA thing which is why I asked if you searched AC or NH to verify.

--  not sure what to wish for
a) a UA thing???
         or
b) a LH thing

either way it reduces the value to me of UA

He says it's a LH thing. You can confirm it by searching ANA.

tried ANA search  no LH  over Atlantic after Aug  biz class--assume it is  LH thing 

wonder why LH holding back, maybe with the increase UA did on awards -- LH sees UA as holding out on them  and it  wants it's share? and for now will only release a few days b4 flights if it is good for them --as it now does with first class

End results , with out LH BIZ over Atlantic and with LH serving more places in Europe  than any other star carrier it will create problems  PLUS devalue UA MILES MORE
