[goodenglewood]

I am about to book a ticket PHL-TLV, TLV-PHL, and on the way back i want to change to a flight 2 days earlier thats not available yet. what are my options? Will US allow me to waitlist? and if it become available, can I change? what are the fees, if any? TIA!

150 dollars, once outbound is taken you cant change

I thought the no change rule only applies to partner flights?

I'm trying to book someone in TLV-PHL on July 24th via ATH.

I came up with A3 929 TLV-ATH in J () and US 759 ATH-PHL in Y.

Anyway around paying for J for the whole ticket although I will only be using J in the first short segment?
If not, does US open availability closer to the flight? It seems that the flight is an empty flight.

1)AFAIK there is no way around it.

2)Yes, they open closer to the flight. EF will help on this one
