THANKS NETZIH!!

I am still looking for data points as to whether people skipping the flight to YYZ will get partner credit. I believe the earliest flights available in this deal were in November (although if I'm wrong and people were already able to take some of those flights, please correct me), so I assume we'll have to wait until mid-to-late November for the brave individuals who chance it to educate the rest of us.

1) Don't credit your miles to United. There have been many reports of United miles being clawed!

That flight was canceled, I think most passengers from that flight were rebooked onto another flight the next morning.
Time to call US ;)

Trying to cancel LGA-PHL-FRA-TLV $560 for my nephew. I called US and they said since I booked through Orbitz I have to call Orbitz who can call them. Did anyone that booked through Orbitz cancel? and how?

Never mind the power of HUCA works again! After three calls and waiting on hold they cancelled for a full refund!

MY miles posted to United while I just checked my wife's account and the miles aren't there.
Could my not having finished the online signup for this account (only opened it automatically via a chase app) have affected this?

I just returned from a wonderful trip!
Thank you Dan and everyone for comments and tips.
I found the security very tight on US Air, In PHL, there was a second security screening by Israelis that I felt was very thorough.
My first time flying them an I found them very pleasant and helpful.
I was worried about getting to PHL on time as connection was close and they just put me on an earlier flight in the airport with no hassle at all.

On our return, I took off the baggage tags in the baggage area, I didn't see anyone there   from US Air anyway. We just walked straight out of the airport.

AFAIK all airlines have secondary security to TLV.

Yikes. Realizing now that my wife's maiden name was on the ticket and married name is on the account.


What can I do?

Would United let me change the last name on the account.

Just called US Airways -  My flight time decreased by 20 mins - going from LGA in late January....The rep dropped the LGA-PHL leg.     

Do I need to notify Orbirz - who still show my old flight with extra leg? probably not, but asking just in case.

Also - looking at my reservation on US airways, I don't see it mention Kosher meals even though it said so on Orbitz, I will call them sometime in January to add this in when I call after their AA point earnings become official.

No need to call Orbitz.

Would United let me change the last name on the account or would US Airways send the miles manually. I did not use the last leg...

 PHL-YYZ was delayed and I told them right away I cant take it. So they canceled that leg and US Airways just issued me a $172 refund.
