Care to share how you get into Israel, with their ban on travelers...

Not that I could see. But BH was put on standby list at check in and cleared. However they did charge her 2nd bag fee at check in because she was only confirmed in economy.

There are other exceptions, some of which are not anyone would wish for.

Lol, 10 years late to the game.
I guess that's what happens when UAMP bans you?

Hi,

Apologies if this is the wrong thread - would greatly appreciate if you could put it somewhere it might be seen. Unfortunately several of my family members must fly to Israel ASAP for a kevurah (body is currently in US but will be leaving soon). They would prefer to fly with the body (which will be on United), and I'm doing everything I can to figure out a way to get them on the plane.

United is asking 90k miles roundtrip, but they only have Amex points, though quite a few (295k). Is there anyway for me to transfer them to United, or any other workaround? Cash flights are around $1500 currently so desperately trying to find another option for them.

Any options you could suggest would be incredibly appreciated. (Even if you could suggest a workaround for a different flight in case we can't get anything for United, I'd be grateful). I'm scrambling here.

Thank you all so much and may you only know simchas.

Ames doesn’t transfer to United, but you can transfer Amex to Aeroplan and book United flight with Aeroplan points.
