EWR-TLV UA J 47k TK x2

Since when does TK have rule that you cannot book Star Alliance Award Ticket for other people on your account unless the Account Holder is one of the passengers? This is not the same rule as "online" . Hope they can change the first name of one passenger.

Wow, I booked something but can't select seats.

The glitch probably has something to do with the fact that these days just opened for booking.

Half will cancel this speculative booking probably but still has got to be first time this has happened,no? Some IT guy at United getting fired.

This seems to be the only TLV flight you could pick seats, the others are not showing any seats taken which is not correct.

Not that it makes a real difference, but this is pathetic:
@Something Fishy Looks like this has been changed.

Booked 2 tix in J on UA91 3/17. Ty Dan!
One ticket is in my name, second in a generic name (figured it could be for DW, but I'm single;)
Any chance I'd be able to change the name and DOB, or I may as well cancel?

Booked with UA specifically for this reason and not via TK etc.

They mention a marriage license here, but could it be stretched to a name and DOB change?
Still looking for a good MS method :)

DOB never has to match😉
Name change is needs a little dry’ing you could misspell a name up to 2 symbols off and with a middle initials you could get very far!

DOB doesn't have to match? Even to Israel?

The first name I put was Mrs. Last name was mine.


You're saying there's actually a possibility? That would be sweet

You can do a couple of characters at a time to fix a "misspelling".

You have plenty of time to find a wife with a name matching the generic one you chose  :)

Nope. But I've heard of it being done. Obviously, YMMV.
