Is is a single cabin plane?

This would be a classy move for one of the Pesach programs. They could even name the plane afterwords. The T&C state that seats "Under no circumstances can these seats or these flights be resold, bartered or given to others for value." So they would have to somehow be "included" as a free perk for pesach guests. Perhaps the first suites booked should come with a free first class seat.

No. It includes 8 first class seats, and 12 "main cabin select" seats.

Doesn't seem like that much of a bargain.

It's no bargain unless you are planning to actually charter a plane anyway. In which case it's not bad.

A citation x jet will run you $44,000 plus tax and that only seats 13 for JFK-LAX although you cannot compare private air travel with commercial flying! No security, drive straight to the plane, no waiting they can even fly faster

Don't think an A320 would make it to TLV.

Could be done with a single stop in Shannon.

They don't fly to Israel, so how is this relevant?

It's like saying if Jetblue had a $29 sale to Israel, I'd buy 100,000 tickets...

if your only posting whats relevant i would imagine this thread shouldnt have been started in the first place but being were dreaming may as well dream where your mind takes you

btw once were on the topic to quote the ponovizer rav when telling people his dream about opening ponovisz yeshiva in bnei braq "i may be dreaming but im not sleeping"

The OP is relevant due to the fact that its an offer that exists.

I understand posts in a thread that are OT (you'll find them in almost every thread).
But I'd think irrelevant info (or "my dreams") belongs in "Just Shmooze", no?

VX isn't etops certified...getting wayyy off-topic here though.

Sign up for a new Gilt account and receive 1,500 miles.
And you'll earn 5 miles per dollar.

Register here.

300k miles is pretty good if you're chartering the plane anyway.

As long as we are off topic anyway... 1As a side note who spells it ponivisz? 2. How come the current Ponovich Yeshiva doesn't buy the original building where the yeshiva was founded in Panevėžys, Lithuania? It's a shame to see it being used as a Bakery/coffee shop bookstore...

Great Idea. Lets all move back to $#$ ##@#@ Lithuania. Maybe the Mir should move back to Poland and Satmar should open a kollel in Hungary. Chabad should also buy the Spalerno Prison and release everyone inside.
