HOT availability on *A

Correct, but can't change to United if there's last minute availability.

Yeah. Just realized that, and saw that you posted it. Thanks for the help. Hope this is still around by tomorrow.

Should be, this OS availability has been going on for the past few weeks already.

SQ should be able to put it on hold for you, may require HUCA.

104k-115k+$900 or 160k UA is not great.

TK is only 2k from NYC (and azal is $1800 on some dates), and plenty of carriers around 2k from BOS (or TK for $1800 from BOS or YYZ). Pretty pathetic when revenue can be a better value in premium cabin than award.

Plenty of people don't want to add a 3rd stop to their journey or fly on TK.

Lol. LX J is as available as OS J on many routes.

That's not the best counter argument. BA is also bookable without YQ through LA.

When evaluating the value of booking an itinerary, I take the total cost into account. That includes ease paying for it (transferring currency to the program) as well as YQ and other fees, time spent finding and booking, and risk of being stuck with something not very usable, change and cancellation fees etc.

That's why the last couple of times I went NYC-TLV I got revenue tickets, as they presented better value. I once got lucky on a TK itinerary where my return was cancelled due to a IRROPS in IST and I was protected on AA via PHL.
