NYC-TLV-BKK

[nirc]

Which airline(s) would make it Possible to redeem points/miles for the price of a single award ticket and travel from NYC-BKK with stopover in TLV?

I Don’t mind additional stopovers or traveling different legs on different airlines.

Are you heading back to NY after?

I did it the other way a few years ago with AC as a single award. JFK-BKK-TLV-JFK.

Yes, but no need for TLV stopover on way.

Assuming u mean air Canada, Do u recall total miles spent?

Yes, Air Canada. It was booked as a single multi-city award.
Their charts have changed recently, but mine was 165k per person in business (economy would’ve been around half). Try to avoid airlines that have high fuel surcharges / YQ. I planned the trip around award availability.

no need to worry about YQ with the new program, they stopped charging it.

Also it's 5k for a stopover, though that's quite decent.

Do you remember the routing? (Though chances are a schedules have changed since then)

ETA: seems to be ~175k RT on partners with the new charts.

It was just a teeny tiny drop crazy



1 open jaw and 1 stopover. Booked separate cheap ticket from CNX-HKT.

Will be traveling with entire family so I may have to suffer in economy.

Was that 165k for round trip or one way?

To clarify - I don’t mind paying a little extra (5-15k miles) for a desired stopover for a couple of days. What I don’t want is to buy 2 one way tickets (nyc-TLV, TLV-bkk)

I did this in 2015 on United, not sure if their routing rules changed since then.

My personal routing was EWR-TLV(1 week stopover)-IST-bkk-CNX (destination) and then Return HAN-BKK-TYO-JFK (all for 80k). Mixture of United, Turkish, Thai, and ANA

Just checked United.com and it seems that the excursionist perk doesn't work for flights to Asia as the cheapest I found find for nyc-tlv-bkk-nyc was 42.5 + 38.5 + 44k = 125k RT in economy!

Same with AA:

NYC-bkk is 37.5k while NYC-tlv-bkk is 35k + 25k = 55k. So in essence I’m buying 2 one way tickets which I am trying to avoid.

Delta:

No option to even book nyc-tlv-bkk online.
