I used FB because they are the cheapest mileage wise to TLV. All I had were AMEX/SPG points to transfer and the only way to make it was to use them @40,000 SPG etc... On average, including taxes,infant fares,change fees, etc... I paid 65,000 points and $245.00 per person. Got me and my family to E"Y for a super trip, so in my book it was worth it, but it took MONTHS of work.
