Try booking it. Sometimes it will say that the fare is unavailable, but usually Skyscanner is significantly cheaper that other sites.

Anyone with experience flying on United ORD to ABE. Stops in EWR, and then there is a bus service to ABE. If I check in a bag, do I need to claim my bag in EWR and bring it to the bus, or do they transfer the bag for me directly to the bus

Interesting, this post is from 2015, not the experience my friend had last year (DEN-EWR-ABE).

Is there such a thing as a flight group discount for five non-stop flights from YYZ-TLV-YYZ?

I believe there may be discounts for groups of 10+

Any idea of numbers? Meaning percentage off? Or x amount off per a group of 10.

Not from my experience. Just some flexibility with paying and adding pax names.

How soon after birth can/ should a baby fly?
My SILs brother is getting married in Europe, but his and my daughter's baby will only be 1 month old.  Is that too soon?

I don't believe there is an official policy. As long as the doctor clears you, you should be able to fly. I flew with my son before he was 6 weeks.

I know someone who gave birth in Israel and flew to the US for the bris.

I flew with a 2 week old. IIRC, most airlines will not allow or require a doctors note for under 1 week olds’
