Is it me or does UA have the times for the IST-EWR leg incorrect? Depart IST at 1:55 PM and arrive EWR at 6:02 PM. My itinerary shows a flight time of 10 hours and 7 minutes (which I believe should be 11 hours and 7 minutes). That's an awfully fast flight time when the DL 763 appears to take 11-12 hours.

It was just my reservation that was faulty. I rebooked to come back a day later (also takes the price down to $601) and the reservation now shows the correct time of 11 hours 7 minutes. Typical UA tech glitch.

OK good. I was confused about the LX comments. Not that I'm trying to reach premier level this year (totally useless) but it would be a bummer to not earn miles on a dirt cheap fare like this one.

Most tourist fees appear in EURO.

Kayak
Hello,
My first post! Really good to be here!
I was searching Kayak for this flight and the "previous search calendar" on the right shows someone found a flight for $476 in the past 48 hours. Tried a few combinations to hit that but to no avail. I have never done a mileage run but I would definitely do this one for that price:
No fares seem to be under $638 now.
Again, good to be part of this community.
