So, the original ticketed date was February 15 2023 for a departure of December 28, 2023 (yeah, we booked early)

I know if I changed the destination right now, leaving me with a flight credit due to cheaper flights, or canceled outright, best case scenario is I'd have a flight credit I have to use by February 15, 2024, correct?

If United cancels my flights, then I have a flight credit I have to use by December 28, 2024 (or the date of cancelation if it's earlier, but still probably in the Nov-Dec timeframe), right?

If United's operating flights at the end of December, then it's probably safe enough to go, especially since we're sticking to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and not going anywhere near Gaza. After all, they wouldn't send crews into a warzone, I would hope

And when I say use by X date, that means travel by X date, not book by X date for travel at a later date, right?
