Anyone here ever fly J on Atlas Global?  They seem to have real J recliner seats - not simply Y with middle seat blocked.  Thanks.

Edreams etc has access to lower fares then a standard GDS.

Did you call platnium travel? or just amex travel online?

So I have an upcoming points ticket with IB and I realized that I must have booked by entering in the first name my first AND last name and then again my last name e.g. my reservation says Moshe Friedman Friedman (not actually my name). Will this be a problem boarding? Or should I just leave it?
Thanks

Online you should be able to press "other confirmation/reference numbers" if that doesn't come up in your reservation then call UA.

They're usually pretty decent about it (either with charging the $75 same day change fee or without).
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Technically, yes. It's a bit tight for my likings, but to each their own. If anything goes even just a little wrong, you're missing your flight.

There are multiple flights out of Moscow to TLV, so it's not like you will be stranded for too long.

True. If it's significantly cheaper or more convenient, it may be worth it.

Being stranded isn’t my issue, it’s just that I have a full schedule on the day I arrive so i can’t afford a rebooking hiccup, I’m just wondering if anyone has done the route and knows if you change terminals, how far apart the terminals are etc.

IINM you don't change terminals, was around a 15-20 min to the new gate IIRC.

Now that I think about it, security did take a while.
