Can I check a check a bag while on a stopover with United?
Sometimes it doesn't pay to save money.

I canceled AA domestic tickets almost a year ago for 3 travelers, only received airline credit in each person's name which is about to expire, any way I can consolidate it to one travel credit or at least extend them?
BUMP

Booked via Chase. AA claims can only be done through Chase, Chase reps are clueless.

Good idea, given that these tickets will hopefully be changeable at the time.

No KSML on QR? YUL-DOH-DAR.

Whole long list of meals but KSML is not one of them. I requested via Twitter, but they haven't been very helpful there overall.

Wow, Twitter actually came through. Quite surprising considering how useless they were with some other questions earlier this week lol.

On most airlines, no. That being said, there are some carriers that fly a “real” Business class product intra Europe, Turkish comes to mind

I called AA and they said that i could book a BA flight but it was much more expensive than booking with BA directly.

eMed.com. I've used on AA exTLV.

Going to TLV there is some language in the rules that sounds like it isn't valid but in practice people have reported using them.

ANy update? Can emed be used in USA to go to Israel and in Israel to go to USA?
