TLV-LY-LAX-VX-SFO
TLV-LY-NYC-B6/VX/LY-SFO
TLV-LY-BOS-VX/LY/B6-SFO
TLV-LY-MUC/FRA-LH-SFO
TLV-LY-LON-VS-SFO
etc
Yes, though that's interlined booking. UA can do the whole shebang on their own. So technically LY can do it in one booking, not as seamless as UA

And an inferior FF program and everything (though technically the seats do go fully flat now), but that wasn't the question
mduell was answering. But ya, avoid LY generally (though I find their actual in-flight service to be much better than UA - just the food, amenities, and IFE is much worse)
