I'm looking to book a LH F ticket to Israel. Right now only miles I can get are MR that someone will sell me for 1.85 CPM. Which is the best program amex transfers into to book it from?
Aeroplan has YQ and a high award price of 225k

TIA

DL won't get me on LH F... Swapping with someone might work.

how can I get those? Amex doesn't transfer and I don't have who to buy from. Would be awesome as they have way more availability especially in the A380 F

A380 F I rarely find + their system is down + you get charged more miles + lots of taxes.

Don't mind the YQ or more miles, if I can find availability...
BTW does someone coming to FRA in F & continuing to TLV in J get the F lounge and car pick up etc.?

I'd assume arrivng yes, continuation not, but there are F to TLV.

I see that you suddenly got over the YQ.

If its *A availability anyway might as well use a cheaper partner than AP. If I can get better availability with M&M I can get over the YQ.
I know LH has F to TLV, but this for Pesach and I can barely find J.

If it helps, I have a travel agent that can move the dates of pessach for you.

From what I see on FT, even that is tough for LH F.

If you have pessach later you will get the most expensive briske-hand milled-water from arizal mikve-blessed by kupat hair-shmira-certified yoshon- matzes at a fraction of the price.

the simplest way is to spread some rumors about terrorist attacks in the period you would like to fly and seats will open up.

Pessach date changes is for TA (Amshinover* only does for himself), and the price of the matzes you will just see everywhere
