Won't be a good deal once you have to pay for carry-on and checked luggage, reclaim luggage, recheck luggage.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Why not. 2500 + $10 taxes + 1 check bag 20/25 (not sure). with 1 cpp = $55/60 with 1 personal item + 1 check bag. Not terrible if you can't find something else.

Worth it to pay the extra $10-20 bucks to fly with delta.

Spirit charges $65 for 1 checked bag and carry-on bag one-way.  Plus they charge a $15 award booking fee and $2.50 9/11 fee and you're up to $82.50.

The Delta ticket (which earns miles) is just $68.80.

I just booked for 2 OW for 5000. points + $55 including 1 bag. So yea I guess $20 for the bag and 17.50x 2=55. 

As I said before just offering.

I didn't really intend to hike the price up, when u fly spirit u don't take a carry-on, everything goes in ur luggage (with btw could only be upto 40 pounds) and u take a free personal bag.

I mentioned it in passing, but recommended that people use Delta and listed the Delta price when booking from NYC.

If you book this all on one PNR can you standby and skip the ORD part. I have seen delta route JFK-ATL-JFK-TLV so maybe I can do something similar.

Also I have seen Continental route EWR-LAX EWR TLV

Is there any chance Delta will offer a jfk-tlv deal? They are currently charging $1400 for this,whereas the chicago people will end up taking the same flight for $640 and going a longer distance.

Chance that they lower the JFK price to $640? Close to nil.

Same reason UA charges $1,400 for CLE-LGA and $50 for PIT-CLE-LGA.

yes sure you can leave the airport, to have a smoke outside or to chill out in manhatten? Might be necessary to give you a more precise answer.
