not worth it as can be seen here: http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/5533.

As dan said in the comments there it would be 154K LAN kms!

saw this on another blog:


under the radar routing to TLV!

Royal Jordanian ORD or JFK to AMM is under 10000 km threshold, so 20K SPG in Y or 40K SPG in J one way, plus a measly 2400 SPG AMM-TLV in Y.

Total RT calculation JFK/ORD-AMM-TLV:
Y- 44800 SPG
J- 84800 SPG

The Y routing is untouchable by any other program unless you luck out and can find a Promo Award 50% off sporadically with AF/KL Flying Blue with is 20K SPG in Y or 40K in J RT via CDG or AMS each way to TLV.

Wouldn't you just be better off converting SPG into flying blue or milemiglia, and booking a 50K mileage ticket (40K SPG) to TLV?

Most RJ flights appear to have overnights in AMM...not exactly ideal for jews.

Perhaps, but those programs both charge fuel surcharges even on partner flights who don't charge a fuel surcharge.

Dan, would a flight from NY to Florida on AA qualify as a good deal on Lan Airlines, similar to what you pulled off to Montreal?
