+1. Wish I would be able to book thru Turkish 47k, but transfer time, and honor stories about canceling, Is too risky.

Yep, that's why I did united

Bigger footwell, but light/noise from galley may be bothersome (never tried it, that was posted here a few times).

As long as you want (I'm sure there's a limit, you couldn't do a stopover for months probably) for an extra 5k.

No Cash?
I just booked AF TLV-CDG-JFK J Class 93,000 FB - I only paid 76k due to Chase to FB 1.25 special now + ~$300.
BTW, AF flies Wide Body A350 TLV-CDG - one of the only European airlines that still give you a lie flat in J. Gives the redemption that much more value. KLM same redemption with narrow body.
Turkish also wide body depending on flight.
KLM AMS-TLV is now a widebody 772

Limit that they allow to book on the website is 45 days not sure if you can do more by phone.

TLV-WAW-ORD J
47000 TK $165
I’m honestly decently impressed with the Turkish call center. Although the agent spent three minutes trying to tell me there was no availability, once I fed him the flight numbers I had my ticket in 15 minutes (and it only took one call)

TLV to DXB  EK J
DXB to CMN EK F

205K AC + $92.30 CAD
seems like the cheapest option to avoid YQ


this is my first time flying F and fist time on an A380, any recommendations?

You checked AF?
Usually comes out around 100k with very little YQ, and these days cap 1 has a 20% bonus transfer
