Going to hurt to cancel a UA I class award though.
I'd wait until last minute, for when LY cancels the flight  ;D

180k AA is actually by far the lowest price for a last-seat on the route and it is surprising AA maintains it
It wasn't the last seat a booked it a month in advance.

Btw tapa talk notifications is broken.
On the other hand on some threads that I'm subscribed I'm getting email notifications and some not. Would anyone know how I can activate email notifications on this thread?

When booking a 93.5 business award to tlv on united, is that automatically considerd a "saver award" by united ? Or it actually has to say on the chart "saver award" ?

Reason asking is for the purpose to know the ingredients of trying to create a plan c award.

Would plan c work if part of the connections/airlines are economy? Or entire award must be I class ?

Is a shehechiyanu appropriate?

Which currency? Dates?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
