Bump. Anyone???
Its very simple.
There are currently only 5 airline transfer partners for UR:
1) British Air- YQ makes booking with Avios ridiculously expensive.
2) Southwest- AFAIK you cant use these to book to TLV
3) Virgin Atlantic- I dont know much about this one but YQ also seems to make it pretty cost prohibitive.
so that leaves you with 2 Star Alliance airlines:
4) United- 85k RT (from NY) NO YQ, fly direct EWR-TLV, Also partner Air Canada YYZ-TLV
5) Singapore- 75k RT (from NY) YQ on all except United flights.
Obviously with stopovers there are many other options:
MR has so many more airline transfer options. But for UR, I would just look into those 2 and use
