Trying to get 2 AZ business class Flights credited to FB and they cannot determine class of service from ticket number or record locator or boarding passes. I cannot get AZ to respond to my multiple requests via twitter, call center or email. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this done?

Ask a TA if they can access the ticket.

A (good  ;)) TA can sometimes access third party tickets.

arriving at ZRH at 9.40 am with  DL and checked luggage. separate flight out of ZRH to TLV. 65 minutes in between.
is there enough time to collect luggage and still make it to the next flight ? Outbound is either OS via VIE  pr Pegasus via SAW.

TIA

Delta basic economy says no advance seat assignment https://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/onboard-experience/basic-economy.html

But what if you are traveling with kids? They will split up a family?

yes it does happen often.

However, they may make changes at gate to prevent a young child from sitting without an adult.

Can't find it but I'm sure it's somewhere... If I have chase United card and I book for someone else, any way to get extra free bag for them? Make them an additional cardholder..?

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but I figured someone would steer me in the correct direction....

I have a wedding in Israel the Thursday night before Purim. My impression is that leaving the US on Wednesday would be pushing my luck - is that right? (Flying out of NY). I would prefer to leave Israel on Saturday night, but debating staying for purim - what is a bigger factor in my ticket cost - length of stay or the day of week I leave? Will it be significantly cheaper to leave on Tuesday night?

If you leave Wednesday and there are any delays, you risk missing the wedding..

Are you looking at Y or J? Nonstop or stopover? Check price on Matrix and can look at all the times, dates you're thinking of to decide.
Nonstop LY Y flights all seem to be in the same $950-$1050 range for leaving Tuesday or Wednesday, and coming back either Saturday night or Wednesday/Thursday

Which miles should I accumulate to go to Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Greece) in August? Business class not necessary.

Cash fares are very low. Sub $300 fares are common to France and Spain. Combine with a CC that gives you free baggage on selected airline.

Most airline CC won't give you free luggage on an international basic economy ticket

My personal experience was indeed with AA but I was under the impression that they all do that but I may be wrong

AFAIK Depends on card used for paying taxes/fees.

UA used to give you free luggage if you showed your card at checkin.

May I ask how you got enough miles for multiple tickets using UA card? I just signed up with a 40k bonus, which is good enough for only 2 x 1 tickets.
