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 wonder if this is s/t new or not. Anyone have an idea?

Correct, thats what happens when you type fast on a Touch Screen...

Looks like a great way to fly Bangkok using JAL miles.
Thoughts?

Seems like a great redemption, especially b/c intra-thailand flights can add up real quick.

Nice find, its a shame they don't have F on that flight.
It's still probably the most comfortable (together with Swiss) out of tlv to Europe

just saw that Virgin Atlantic is partners w/ Cyprus Air, and TLV to Cyprus is 5k VA miles (I assume this is OW)
Would be interested in knowing the YQ on this, if any, but it could be a great value for a nearby vacation.

Noticed that SQ redemption on partners has North America to Europe for 80K on F, but North America to Mideast 75K on F.  ::)
Seems like SQ to Europe is a bad idea even on UA/US.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Booked on Friday TLV-FRA-JFK in LH/SQ I class (overnight in FRA) for 57.5k SQ, and $420 SGD = $346 in taxes
