No. Planning a vacation to Israel. Wife is letting me spend a few days somewhere else and meet her there. I'd prefer HK if CX F opens up.
Cool, kinda like we're doing this summer.

Just rearranged my itinerary:



2.5 days in HKG
6 hours in FRA FCT
1.5 weeks in TLV

70k AS + 45k UA + cost for JFK-BOS (may try the AA 321T F for this puddle jumper bc, why not)

My current return is TLV-VIE-EWR in OS J (80k UA), but I may try to upgrade to LH F if it becomes available at T-15 days

BOM-FRA-TLV LH F

Guys, how far out do I have to look to find availability on this/similar routing,i.e., BOM/DEL-TLV and/or vice versa, via FRA?

T-15 days. Keep in mind UA.com shows a lot of phantom LH F space, so make sure to check with another source like Aeroplan before you transfer any points or book any positioning flights.

Oh, very interesting. I was thinking far out in the future, but it's the opposite! Thanks for the tips.

LH doesn't release F space to partners until 2 weeks out
