Israel via NYC/Cleveland

[yehuda S]

Hi everyone,

I hope some of you can give me some travel advice.

I am trying to book a trip to Israel in May. I live in the New York area but need to go to Cleveland first to drop off my baby who's staying with relatives.

Ideally I want to use reward points to go NYC-Cleveland-Tel Avi, and back two weeks later.

It would be great to stop over for a day in some city (Paris, Zurich etc.)

Here is the breakdown of my points:

Chase: 230,000

AAdvantage: 76,000

Amex MR: 76,500 - sometime next month.

SPG: 70,000-  in about two months- I prefer not to use SPG as I want to save them for cash + points.

Any input would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Yehuda

I forgot to mention, I have some free Hyatt nights so staying overnight somewhere in Europe would probably be easy.

Thanks in advance.

                             And I'd recommend checking availability with Continental and using your Chase points here.
