That should almost always be the case, no? Stopover flight vs. direct flight..
For an award ticket it's usually the same.
Not with Skypesos (semi revenue based). Also not with married segments, that can open better availability or fare buckets.
Is there a new trend at UA with releasing awards a day or two before flights to/from TLV?
yes.
A day or two is not rare? I guess a lot of people could just pick themselves up the last minute and leave?
If the availablity is for further out then it is rare. If it is only for a day or two out then it is not rare and does not need to be posted in the rare availability thread.

Or Or book in advance an option with a stopover, and then change last minute to a direct if it opens.
How much is the change fee?
Booked with UA, no status, close in change = $125.
Booked with UA, no status, close in change = $125.Or if you are booked with a partner, then whatever their change policy is.
Wide open availibility AA F JFK-LAX and LAX-JFK.Should be bookable with IB for 96k RT.J availablity is still quite scarce.
Did I make a mistake? Is this actually not rare?
Has been available for a long time.
I have even more questions now. Why hasn't it been discussed for a long time. Especially with this IB promo...
Dan mentioned on MS this option with promo.
