SQ JFK - FRA 56.7K KF in J

@Dan there's a promo now, you can also find 17.5k in Y,  I was looking in March.
Pairs well with ElAl fixed prices.
Fixed pricing ends 2/28 AFAIK.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Its UNITED AIRLINES Mileage Plus... Is commonly referred too as...UA
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Lol, thanks, a bit of brain fog there.

Happens to be I had it booked in Y previously, and ON opened up on the United leg, but the ZRH-KSC leg was only available in business at that point, so couldn't change it to ON online. I messaged United, and they were able to change it after first saying they couldn't.

How much did they charge for the change from Y to ON?

Same as always. 50k for direct and 55k with a stop (even if the second leg is Y).
