Hi Forum,
I'm currently in London, with a return ticket booked back to NYC July 31. I would like to change my plans and go to Israel for 1 week. I've played around with what my options are, and I don't know the best way to proceed.
My options:
1) I can change my original flight from LHR-NYC for a $300 fee. I can fly round-trip from LHR-TLV for appx $700, or 70k amex points, which I have.
2) Forget about my return flight from LHR-NYC.
a) buy two separate flights. LHR-TLV $500/50k points, then TLV-NYC $800/80k points, totalling 140k amex points
b) buy a multi-trip LHR-TLV-NYC for 200k amex points
I also have 50k delta points, 100k ba/avios points, 47k aa points.
Thanks for any suggestions!
