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.

Thought I'd pass it on.
With DL miles, Asia to US is 130 in J RT, but to Hawaii is only 100k.
Similar difference in Economy rate.

AKL - HNL on HA metal using Virgin America miles. 35k/80k RT or 20/45k each way.
RT fees are only $59.
Very good deal, and pretty good availability.

And an extra 3k miles each way to go to one of the other islands.

Thank you! Your compliment is unwarranted, but appreciated.
And it's those types of comments which make DDF such a wonderful place to be a part of.

And you're getting that level of VX miles from?
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.

Also, lIfemiles are 25/40 from much off Asia to hnl each way
And if you choose a small island then it'll route you through the US. To bad they don't allow stopovers

I'm sure I must have posted this elsewhere, but the LifeMiles deval had a few bright spots.
One of them is the Middle East to S. Africa decreased by 5k each way in Y and J, and is now cheaper than remaining in the Middle East.  :)

So TLV-SEZ will be 35k/70k, and IMO, economy is the way to go for 2 shortish flights and a 100% mark-up.

Here are their regions.

50k US for transcon F on AA and CX is a great deal although that's going away soon.
Is this ex-us?
If yes what's the routing?
If u work for a living, why kill urself working?

Repost from the ex-TLV thread.

Seems like Aegean's new chart will charge award redemptions on their metal by the distance flown, w/ a 7k min.
That means that TLV-ATH (or elsewhere in Greece) would price out at 14k RT?

And the rest of Europe would be a good value as well.

Seems like the cheapest redemption ever. 5500 RT in Y AND 10K in J.

what airline do they give those flights on?
And where do you accumulate their miles?

SN.

SPG. I think TY Points transfers to EY as well.
