How is UN business?

I flew coach, was a disaster. But I'd repeat it again if I was single, traveling alone, and would be saving $1k over the cost of a direct ticket.

what is 'w' class on UN
i just checked my reservation
i am in 'w' which should be economy
but my daughter who is a lap child is in 'm' class ?????
unless i am reading the wrong thing

W is the lowest available economy ticket. Unless the baby has a seat, she is not booked in any inventory but is (usually) priced off the adults booking code (w?).

Dude, even if you fly Lufthansa First Class, you're sitting in "coach" for TLV-FRA.
Just making a point so that people can make an informed decision.

BTW when I fly LH Biz or First I connect in ZRH so that I can fly real J.

FWIW on the two flight's I flew on Transaero the last few months between TLV and VKO, the B737-800 was 3 class with 2 F and 4 J seats. I've heard it's the only true 3 class 737 in the sky. Don't bother looking up the configuration online though, as I haven't find it; it still exists though. Also, I've had great experiences with them in economy. I had an exit row TLV-VKO which had business class legroom (I'm 6"5 and could stretch out all the way with room to spare). VKO-NYC was half empty with everyone helping themselves to ghetto upgrades and stretching out over several seats. So in all was very comfortable. You also can't beat the 60+ men minyan we had by the gate in VKO. ;)

Yep😊 I'd guess it probably beats angled flat J, and it definitely can't be beat, when you consider that I payed $382 for it.

There's a Transaero TLV to NYC with an overnight stopover at VKO (7:05p - 9:50a).
Anybody with experience with this stopover?
Do they put you up in hotel overnight?
If not, what do you do for 14 hours overnight?

No airline puts you up in a hotel for a scheduled stop.

i almost grabbed these 2 weeks ago for $850 on coach but then found out that you need a visa to leave the airport.

yes but aside from the visa issues there are some pretty great deals on hotels in moscow (though there aren't any VKO brand name airport hotels yet) last week the st regis moscow was $165 + tax and the courtyard $41 + tax

Someone told me that KE booked him in the Hyatt (IIRC) while having a long layover in ICN.

Hah, I guess next time I should finish reading the thread first.

Coralsnake, you remind me of the airline reps, when someone asks them a question, even though they don't know the right answer they will just make up something whatever they think makes sense  ;)

If you don't know something for a fact, don't answer just out of what your Miskel Rishon is.  :)

I stand corrected. Is this offered on any award tickets?
