Is there any such thing as one using the airlines gc to buy a ticket while on a 3rd party site, say united or DL flight on a 3rd party website(priceline,kayak,orbitz) and use a gc for DL or united to pay for the flight?

Exit fees for LHR will cost a lot, BA books stopovers as segments so you can book to separate tickets and give yourself as long as you want in LHR

If the flights I'm looking at technically already have a stopover in london, does that change anything? Can I delay the segment leaving from london to israel for example?

 If I book a round trip ticket can I go ahead and split them into two separate bookings with their own fare for each ticket?

Married segment question...

If i book an award ticket with married segments i.e. NYC-MAD-KBP with IB Avios, where NYC-MAD and MAD- KBP cannot be booked alone, once its ticketed, can i cancel the second leg and get the points refunded or will it result in the cancellation of the entire itinerary?

First rep I spoke with said "no can do" cancel the whole thing or nothing at all.

Moving to Israel tomorrow.  Flying into Boston in the morning (with DW and 3 kiddos) on United, and leave on El Al in the evening.  Lots of bags.  Not sure El Al desk will even be open when we land (around 11am), for a 9pm flight.  Recommendations about what to do with our bags, given we want to head into the city for the day?

Any tips for flying with dry ice? Anything I should know? Carry-on and/or checked bags.

Any way to know if the wifi on a united flight from ewr to tlv is free for all?
 Or you need a log in passcode?

Any advice? I am landing in BCN, and will need to stop in the lounge for at least an hour maybe more. The lounge is airside. Do I have to worry about my bags ending up in some office in some random corner of the airport?

Which airline are you flying into Boston with? If JetBlue you may be able to underline baggage all the way through.

When was the last time you flew to Israel ?
