In Y? Cash is often the best way.

Depending on the season, you can get VS for 10k/way + YQ and tax.

YQ on A3 is a killer.
Its $417, IMO 45K A3 + $417 is still cheaper then 82.5K AC, but its a close call

Not sure the best thread for this question: Trying to figure out the best day-of cash upgrade options for TLV-US.  Is there a comprehensive list (or anyone interested in helping compile one)?  I know Turkish and Lufthansa are $999 each way; United ranges leading up to flight time; anyone have other intel on other airlines?

Is there a way to transfer Marriott points from one persons account to another persons account? And if yes how long does it take?

Yes. Instant 50k per year or more if you need it to make a reservation.

Found PIT-CDG DL J round trip fare for ~$2700 (135k MR). Could I do better with mileage redemption (assuming I found availability)?

If there’s UA Saver available, you can book that with NH for 88k RT J.

135k is a decent price to pay for that route though.

Was hoping to fly Delta as they operate a non stop out of PIT.
