Absolutely.

Get rid of a stop and likely have a better J on UA than LH.

I guess that was basically my Q once I for sure wasn't getting FCT - is UA better than LH? Guess it is. Seems like there's no wifi on the plane, though. Is that normal on intl flights?

Forget that, not important. More important - I'm on the phone with UA now. They say it's the same amount of miles as it was before, but that was on a partner and now we're on UA. Does that make sense?

Unfortunately, F seats never opened up. I still have 2 days and might be flexible +/- a day, but as opposed to last week when there were several days with F avail, there's nothing this week.

Routing is EWR-FRA-MUC-TLV on LH in J. (with quick 1 hour stopovers)
I can switch to EWR-MUC-TLV on UA/LH in J. (with a 3:40 stopover)

Would you do that?
Where do you see that availability?

Also, there is 1 seat in F available.

I just booked it that's why you don't see it. 1 seat won't do :(
They didn't even ask me about the $100 pax change fee!! I mean I mentioned how my connection time between FRA and MUC was changed so I'd like to get a new routing, but other than that, she just changed it! And refunded $35 pax making this trip cost $30 pax. Holy cow. $30!!!!

Makes sense, you cut out an airport full of taxes and fees and your ex-usa.

Has anyone had any luck changing an old award rate ticket from Business to First over the phone and just paying the old rate difference?

Okay well it's still PRETTY COOL for a guy who's never flown business! :-p

Will do, although convincing them to make that change w/o a fee might be harder.

ETA: that flight is tomorrow. Not sure we'll be ready to go by then even if a second seat does open.

You will still be in the 24 hours of the last change. Not sure if it helps though.
