Three hour drive between them plus the cost of gas.

Here's a nice one for us Israeli's.

TLV - Middle East (such as Dubai)
UA - 30/45/60
LifeMiles - 30/55/75
US - 30/35/45

I'm not including AA since you'd have to use an Explorer award, since a regular award wouldn't be a valid routing to most Arab countries due to a lack of a published routing.

In that case, 35/50/70 and the shortest routing time if you route through AMM.
But US is still the cheapest.

Ticketing offices, and perhaps also by phone.

Only flights with EK numbers can be bought on EK.com

And AA will know that and allow the ticket to be processed?

No, I was only saying it to prove there is such a thing as Middle East-Israel published fare.

It doesnt make a difference to AA unless RJ publishes a fare, and I assume they do.

Here's another one.
TLV to SEZ (Seychelles)
UA - 70k
US - 70k
Avianca - 45k !!

Let me add in another airline.
Kris Flyer - 50/70/105 + YQ (around $280 on most direct routing)

Let me correct myself. You could probably do an Explorer award. If you route TLV - AMM - DXB then it would be 1.3k miles each way, for a total of 2.6. That would cost 35/70 using Explorer pricing.

Good point.
RJ and Etihad wouldn't work?

Explorer Award

Explorer Awards allow you to travel to multiple regions or multiple cities within a region on a single award. These awards are valid on all of the airlines in the oneworld Alliance - airberlin, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Qantas, Royal Jordanian and S7, as well as more than 20 of their affiliate airlines. The mileage required to claim these awards is based on the total mileage of the trip. All flights, including connections, are included in the mileage calculation.

Even if it slips by the review desk (and every OW ticket is manually reviewed) and is ticketed I highly suggest not making any changes or even calling up about it.
If any agent notices the Etihad flight they will send it to the OW desk to be voided.
