Btw a great idea would be to post connecting options,  like what's the best way to combine start alliance and one world /ST and connecting cities that match up without surcharges

Anyone know if I can use united miles to fly from NY/NJ > Niagra Falls > Israel and back (with or without stopover on the way back)? And how many miles would that be?
TIA

EWR-YYZ-TLV
You're allowed one stop on a RT, in coach it'll be 85k

[12HRS]

but for that one stopover you could do somewhere in europe and hit up niagra another time?

Or you do YYZ for less than 24 hrs and it doesn't count as a stopover but rather a layover

EWR-YYZ-TLV

Would that be then straight back to EWR?
Also, how far is Toronto from Niagra?

No, lets say EWR-YYZ(less than 24 hrs=layover)-CDG(stopover)-TLV

[etech0]

No, lets say EWR-YYZ(less than 24 hrs=layover)-CDG(stopover)-TLV

We don't want to do Europe, though. So we were thinking about doing 4-5 days in Niagra and then 4-5 days (over shabbos) in Israel. Any way that makes sense?

Sorry. Yes. You can do EWR-YYZ(stopover)-TLV. Then TLV back to EWR

I never went but I thought 4-5 days is a lot for niagra. Don't most people say 2 days is enough?

No idea, but we'll take it slowly anyways. How often does a vacation happen...

Yup, ime, that is too long... There is not that much to do

[flyingace]

Agree that two days is enough in Niagara. Why not add on to Israel and do a mini-vacation in Eilat or some spa type hotel up north?
