A friend of mine needs to fly from TLV to NYC (JFK preferred) NONSTOP tonight (Thursday Night) for a family emergency.
He wants to use Amex points for the flight. As he does not have a BP I guess that means trying to transfer to an airline partner. I am unfamiliar with this part of the game so I am hoping someone can answer some of these questions ASAP.
1. Should I bother looking for last minute coach TLV-NYC award? Does it ever exist?
2. What airlines are even possible (needs to be instant transfer?, DIRECT flight needed, etc..)?
3. Best place to search, other tips..
All help would be greatly appreciated!
