Tlv - Maldives
US Airway - 50/75/100
UA - 40/70/90
AA- 35/50/70

TLV - Thailand
AA - 45/60/90
UA - 75/100/160
US Airway - 50/75/100

TLV to SEZ (Seychelles)
UA - 70k
US - 70k
Avianca - 45k

From Australia to TLV
AA is 30k-45k
UA is 45k 60k

MIA to TLV on BA, and found availability on Air Berlin for 35k ow + $22.

TLV - South Pacific
AA - 60/90
UA - 80/120

TLV - MNL
UA - 75/100/
US - 50/75/100
AA - 45/60/90

TLV - India
AA - 35/50/70
UA - 40/70/100


Air Berlin doesn't charge YQ when you use BA miles, you can get some good values when touring Europe.

For example, TLV - TXL is 20k + $80 in coach. From there, you can access multiple cities throughout Europe for 9k + regular fees and taxes, but no YQs.

Or do an open jaw, and use a different One World carrier to return to TLV, although some YQs may be needed.

I don't think SN operates a flight BRU-FRA.

I'm sure I must have posted this elsewhere, but the LifeMiles deval had a few bright spots.
One of them is the Middle East to S. Africa decreased by 5k each way in Y and J, and is now cheaper than remaining in the Middle East.  :)

So TLV-SEZ will be 35k/70k, and IMO, economy is the way to go for 2 shortish flights and a 100% mark-up.

http://loyaltylobby.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Avianca-LifeMiles-Comparison-Chart.pdf

Here are their regions.

Yup, it's pricing out at 35/70.
For the life of me, I don't get the logic why economy would be cheaper than remaining within the Middle East region (40k).

Either way, it's quite the solid deal.

Are you seeing anything on the return that doesn't route through FRA as well? I can't seem to find anything that doesn't have three flights on the return and takes less than 24 hours.

I only searched one date.
I think it routed through IST, and included a stop in ADD.

Also saw a return from Capetown which was CPT-IST-TLV I believe.

Seems to be no more TLV to Cyprus as Cyprus Air has ceased operations.

DDFB guy is saying that 80K AZ can book DL direct RT JFK-TLV in J (with YQ). Is that true?

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I actually searched DDMS because I knew there was some recent post about it (and I even used Google to search), but alas nothing recent came up.
Thanks.

What would be the best way to book AZ J so you can stop in FCO? Is it still using AZ miles for 80K?

So, how about their discussion of paying the $300 YQ vs spending another 20K and using 100K BA to fly AB without YQ? I would imagine 20K BA is worth less than $300.

Yes. But the account will not be active before you transfer 1k points. Also, only one transfer per day.

How long will they hold for?
There's often good availability TLV-SVO-NYC in J (80k), and the SVO-NYC can be had on DL metal.

Unsure if this is standard (I'd assume so, but don't recall seeing it), FB is 12.5k each way on DL btw KOA-LAX

Is the 80K rewards booked through AZ on DL only available if DL has saver availability?
