Direct Award flight NYC-TLV-NYC Can you really get one for 80k with CO?

Hi,

I am new to this and read through the forums and site and keep reading that CO has the best plan/rates even to Israel, but when i look at CO.com there i cant see one date with direct flight NYC-TLV-NYC for 80k. Am i missing something here?

I am looking for return tix for  DIRECT flights from NYC-TLV-NYC in June 2012 (Flexible dates) for 3 ppl (1 toddler). I've seen posts and charts that i could get CO flights on that route for 80k. However, searching CO.com i find only 120k/175k for direct flights. Is there a chance to find direct flight for 80k in CO at all (i am not an Elite)?

on Delta i could find direct flight for that route at 130k almost any time. I have 160k at Amex and with the 50% ramp up it seems that delta would provide me a better options with 240k than CO with 160k.
I also have 90k at CO, my wife as 80k at CO and another 30k at AMEX. we both have around 20k at Delta.
AA -180k.

would appreciate any thoughts...

Yes, it is possible. There have been rumors that CO/UA has held off on loading the award seats. Keep looking and grab it when you see it. Delta should be 80k at the low rates as well.

I thought the cheaper reward tickets to tlv were 80k. Did it recently change?
