Above prices are for executives.
Many European destinations for very cheap.
Business class also discounted.
Most US destinations have about $300-$350 tax RT. These fares are particularly good for one-ways. (by far the cheapest option for a o/w nonstop flight between the US and TLV)

Was confused by that too and didn't spend time actually pricing out a ticket. Could be $100/200 is a fee on top of the points + the normal taxes.

No. The airport taxes on a JFK - TLV RT ticket is really only $95.58 There is an additional $250 (total $345.58 mentioned above) charge to the ticket of which (some of it?) can be paid in points at a terrible redemption rate.

It's only Dan's opinion that matters anyway. But just curious, is a o/w nonstop flight from BOS to TLV for 17.5k MR + $157.10 not a good deal?

Most people don't either need shoes every time Florsheim has a sale 
But a deal is a deal. Same here.

I think a majority of readers understand basic Hebrew. It's the language in which we daven.

And I think you are delusional if you think that's the case.

This belongs in the OTD thread, but IMHO if people knew basic Hebrew from a young age, there would be a smaller percentage of OTD. I do not think that is the cause, but that would definitely help people grow roots of their own at an early age.

You make it sound as if we're discussing Chinese or even French. It's only Hebrew
Are the biggest percentage of readers not from Brooklyn/Lakewood?

Google translate makes it feel like much more of a deal.

[thaber]

transferred 40,000 points about 20 hours ago, how long does it usually take for executive to kick in?

I am not sure you are correct on this one. How would you explain Israeli OTD? Granted, IME many Israelis cannot read properly with nekudos, but that doesn't mean they don't know basic Hebrew.

All of that notwithstanding, I am constantly baffled by people who grew through Yeshiva education and prefer reading דברי תורה in English rather than לשון הקודש. I have a very hard time reading business related material (not talking about news articles, but more in depth stuff, including contracts etc) in Hebrew, and when it comes to Torah learning, I just can't read English.
