Ua is a major YMMW for this, I saw your post in the other thread. I was just commenting that in principle on this thread, dates matter

Don't agree that that's the sole purpose of this thread. And anyway, I made sure to check.

We should start a thread of "awesome flights you've booked but never taken"

Just because I have a ticket doesn't indicate that I'm going somewhere any more than not having a ticket.

Usually having a ticket raises the possibilities of coming....

I'd take screenshots, but it would take 25 pages.

True, so why not book with ua
Cle-ams
Ams-fco
Fco- tlv (separate ticket)
Tlv -cle

Or some option like that

This may be more worthwhile just for a Polaris post.

Those are the exact dates I need!!!! (for 5 pax though) Chanukah in Israel. Have the outbound booked...

AA - JFK-MAD  J x 5  - 267,500 AA + $28.00
IB - MAD - TLV J x 2 -   42,500 BA + $56.42
                         Y x 3  - 33,000 BA + $84.57

and now to figure out the return...
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
