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.

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.
Excuse my ignorance, but why does Etihad invalidate it?
And are we all talking about this chart, or the other Explorer award.

That is the only OW explorer chart and it's for OW airlines only.
Affiliates are airlines like American Eagle.
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.

So when it says
"as well as more than 20 of their affiliate airlines"
that's what it is?

Jeez, who would of thought they have >20 airlines like that. They should be clearer on their site.

Nope. Nope. Nope.
Other DDF's also helped tweeting, but no word from them as well.

I was hoping to hear back from other DDF's that tried, but sounds like not a lot are booking LY with AA, which surprises me quite a bit. DDF should be the sole cliental for those bookings.
