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!

How long does it take to connect in PHL?

I realized my LGA to PHL is scheduled to land at 8:06 and the flight to TLV is scheduled for 9:10.

Do they have a history of doing it?
Yes. There's a post around here somewhere about that

I want to book a certain ticket for a certain family member and it's so agonizing for that person to decide. I feel bad for said person. Even with being able to cancel till tomorrow. So sad. Money isn't the issue.

Are these tickets part of what is called fuel dumping?

Yes. These tickets are fuel dumping.
I'd strongly encourage Dan and you guys to stop discussing this any further before the airline shuts this down and cancel all our tickets (I know I'm going to get yelled at for saying this)
I can see that you guys have extremely little understanding of the mechanism for how this work (this unfortunately includes Dan too).

But it doesn't seem to leave room for any delays on the first leg.

Has anyone been able to find tickets for end of December to Early January. I haven't and I don't have any other possible travel days.

My flight says it has a 40% on-time performance. Hopefully won't have an issue.

And you are the expert, right?
Seeks like you don't have a full understand of dot regulations. And you think the discussion here will have an effect on whether they cancel?

If by being an expert, you mean understanding the mechanism for how this work, then yes I'm an expert.
But instead of taking it personal, you could do some research and understand the mechanism yourself. And with that knowledge, you will get much better flights and even better prices.

Why don't you explain what mechanism you are talking about?

This has happened a few times before and airlines were forced/choose to honor it, so no reason to think this will be any different

Plus the Airline knows about this already and is still letting people book more tickets.
