I'm leaving from NYC. I'm thinking of either returning 1 week before the chag or on chol hamo'ed. In any case, should I book now or wait a while - in hopes of the airfare going down as the date approaches? The best I've found so far is approx. $1100 nonstop on Delta.
Another question: I have 51,889 SkyMiles (not sure how the heck I got so many). I'm a newbie at redeeming miles. Would that be enough for a flight to Israel? If it is enough, then I guess there's no point in waiting to book.
