For reference, I'm going to be in WAS to start this trip.
Option 1: IAD-CPH, SAS J
CPH-ZRH, SK/LX Y/fake J
ZRH-TLV, LX J
Option 2: IAD-MIA, booked separately, no award space available
MIA-ZRH-TLV, LX J
SK J looks like a better hard product than LX J but basically my question is whether not having to connect in Europe is worth the extra cost of the ticket to MIA, and the slightly inferior product on the long haul.
