Sometimes, even an extra segment within Europe does not show. For example, I can get availability from IAH to IST to FRA, but not when searching from DFW. If I search DFW-IST an option with the DFW-IAH on expanded UA awards and the IAH to IST on TK comes available.

Any workaround ?
I booked both segments (not the ones I wanted) and then called to change. Spent more than one hour on two calls with their supervisors also and could not get anything done. Sigh.

Excursionist perk( IGU-EZE) same region and it is coming out at 0 miles and taxes

last leg: taking a return flight from IST/LIS- NYC later this year for another trip.

Eveyrthing is calculating fine except when I go to last page for payment, the website bombed.

should I call and see if there is an availability issue OR would I be making life difficult for an agent?

ETA: I was able to get it ticketed online.
One can make changes online after booking a flight?

How did you manage to get it ticketed online? One of my choices had the same issue and after two tries I went with another option.
