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

TLV - Thailand
AA - 45/60/90

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.

Good to know about Alitalia, but what about the AMS routing. They didn't charge on that either.
Didn't see it, but I'm assuming that the TATL was on DL?

If the long flight is a Delta, for exaple AF TLV-CDG, DL CDG-JFK, the surcharge would be almost nothing.

Another airline which has very little surcharges is SU

I see DL to CDG and then AF to TLV, total fees are only $63. They bump up the fees when you fly AF over the Atlantic

Correct, I don't think you pay YQ for AF/KL EU flights and TLV is EU for FB.

When I just chk TLV - CDG and back, it gives me fees of around $25 to CDG, and $66 to go back to TLV. Problem is, it's hard to find the route using only 15k miles each way for direct. The 15k options are for  stopovers.
For example, first to Bucharest and then to TLV. The good thing is that this route only has $25 and $43 or surcharges.
So, 30k + $68. Not the best value to go to Paris, but an option, particularly when there is a transfer bonus from MR.

Yeah, but not for DDF elites. HUCA until someone waives the restriction for you.

Seeing lots of phantom availability on the AF website.
Are you guys shutting it down with your searches?

It never pays to go to Paris. Much better to go to Dubai. VD"L.

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.

how do i get air berlin to show up on BA.COM?

i am trying from NYC-TLV
