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.

It worked when I checked.
Great find, thank you Reuben!

And I thought Aer Lingus was the only viable transatlantic option with BA...
Let's hope this one is also here to stay.

Find it working from any other cities besides MIA?
I can start a blog based on this chiddush...

Maybe this one was obvious, but I was surprised.
I searched MIA to TLV on BA, and found availability on Air Berlin for 35k ow + $22.

I thought it was a good deal, particularly with the MR transfer bonus and the typical high fees BA charges.
From your little post came the whole airline/travel blogosphere announcing this as the latest breakthrough  :D

TLV - South Pacific

AA - 60/90
UA - 80/120

Once again, since Israel is considered part of the Indian sub-continent, it has great values to the Far East.

Anything else down there to see besides Bora Bora?

Unsure if this is a chidush or not, but when checking TLV - NYC on Flying Blue for biz class, some of the routings didn't charge me fuel surcharges.

For example, this.
tlv - fco - nyc on 11/9, and nyc - ams - tlv on 12/4.
100k + $173

I was surprised to find this b/c from e/t I had read, they charge award fees on e/t besides DL metal.

Thoughts?

DL and AZ flights should have little/no YQ.

Good to know about Alitalia, but what about the AMS routing. They didn't charge on that either.
