PUTPAC, give them a sob story.
FYI it worked. Told them it was a significant amount of money (which was true, it was $1500) and they agreed to just refund the money back to the card. Thanks.

Will United let me book this?
PIT-EWR
connection in NYC 3:08
JFK-IST
Do I have to collect checked bags in EWR and transport them to JFK myself?

If award is available, you would need to collect bags and transport on your own.

Ask the GA to request it from the FA?

Without having the passenger ask for it for himself?

What I'm saying is, I don't think that united had the infrastructure for such requests unless you personally ask the FA for a favor or get the GA to ask the FA.

Regarding the new AA 24 hour cancelation policy,
1- is it already in effect?
2- does it also refund taxes and fees on an award ticket?

Paying $179 per ticket each way to upgrade from a regular economy seat on United 84 EWR-TLV to economy comfort... Is it worth it?
Seat guru doesn't show any more  room in the width per seat.
Is it worth the $179 or worthless upgrade?

One last question, sorry.
Will paying the upgrade on united site, change the fare class or the class remains the same?

obviously it depends on how you feel about it.
I personally wouldn't, if you decide not to, you can always ask the GA although its a YMMV I've B'H been successful
