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!

I flew on the 16th ewr-phl-tlv and had a 55 minute stop. I was one of the later ones on the plane but the fought still had quite a line to board even I got there. So 55 minutes was enough time.
And for those asking how early to come to the airport, I got to the airport about 57 minutes before the flight and they checked my bags without any problems.
In regards to mileage I credited my miles to Aegean. I only took the first half and my miles were already credited for the first half. (I will not be able to answer if they will take the miles back (which is highly unlikely) bc I am taking the whole flight.

Thanks for calming (a little) my worries about the connection.

UPDATE after a 5hr delay and a plane switch
and a plane that they didn't even offer food or water for over 3hrs while on the ground..

although it was pretty incredible that they got another plane to switch us too. and they packed the plane with all of our stuff pretty quickly.

also the boarding process was funny "when we point at you you may board the plane." you can imagine how that worked out. 

US AIR Sent us an email ( I didn't even call them to argue yet..)
they sent me a $150 Voucher for each ticket.
that brings my grand total $530 Per Ticket + $150 a Ticket Voucher $380 a ticket.

i also asked the Yiddin in Envoy how they did it.. they used points and cash he said that Envoy had an additional 3 seats empty during the flight so they made some kind of deal at the ticket desk.. interesting i had no idea it was possible.

i am wondering if i call it a Trip in Vain will they credit me the entire flight?

I wouldn't mention what I paid and just ask for compensation or a free trip, might end up ahead... If this happened in EU(?)/Israel you'd legally be entitled to a cash refund. I know someone who flew to Israel on a $600 Delta deal and got back $800 cash.

Or they booked a regular phl-tlv award in j?


Coincidentally just when this glitch picks up en masse? Unlikely,  but possible,  I suppose.


Or they talked an agent into upgrading them? Which seems more likely
