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.

Depending if the agent catches it, only QF has a published fare. EK does not.

Thanks.
FYI, Qatar seems to have lots of published fares ex-TLV, so it would seem to open up lots of options.

Does anyone know if it is a problom for an american-israeli to enter dubai?
What do you do for an overnight in a place like dubai? (if u dont want to spend 1000$ for a hotel)

You can go through HKG and BKK as well. Search for El Al availability to those cities (or RJ), and then connect on either Qantas or CX. It's an amazing deal!
And they have some first class seats ex-DXB on their A380, so that could be a very special experience as well.

Anyone ever book TLV-South Pacific on AA?
Only 30/45 miles (each way).
Any issues with the published routings restrictions for this? And how is Qantas availability to/from Asia? And will they let you route through Dubai (to fly on Qantas) or Qatar? I see good availability in all classes from DXB for next year.
What country in particular did you see the AA availability for?

for 30/45 are you referring to business/first?

I booked on El Al using AA miles a few weeks ago. 22.5k one way ea for economy (no business availability...yet - still hoping for two seats to open up). Mine was direct TLV-BKK, no issues for me, but I'm not sure about routing restrictions.

Totally misread your post and thought you asked about TLV- Southeast Asia. Even more impressive is that I included the information in a quote and still made the mistake.

Carry on.

Not the best thread for it, but it's a very good deal if you need it.

FYI, when checking TLV-MAD using BA miles, they didn't charge any YQ.
Unsure if this is new or not.

Are you a blogger? If not, you should definitely consider becoming one. You seem to know a heck of a lot.

My blogs name is Ben-Dan.

I find myself searching different vacation spots which I find is cheaper than actually going on the vacations. (And according to a study I saw quoted, vacation planning is more enjoyable than the vacation itself.)

Attached is a summary of all the ex-TLV flights using the pre-deval UA chart and the post-deval UA chart.

Obviously, the UA metal column isn't relevant for many of the routes (TLV-BKK for example), but I included it anyhow.

Also note that these are one-way awards, and saver options only.

Interesting post about AB miles.
http://travelisfree.com/2013/07/22/consider-transferring-spg-points-to-air-berlin/

Gotta think about how it may be of a benefit (if any) ex-TLV.

FYI:
TLV - VIE RT has $141 of YQ
TLV - TXL RT has $141
TLV - DUS RT has $141
TLV - MUN ditto
TLV - CGN ditto

Interesting data point.
TLV-LON YQ's are now under $70 RT.
To VIE, total fees are - $72
TXL - $87

Nice reductions.
