Getting To Israel With Miles

[srap]

There is still enough time.
Have the reserve card?
If yes, then trade the worthless DL miles for some Xanax and use the UR miles to book revenue economy flights through the chase portal.

Where do I find out more information about what is this?

Your local pharmaceutical distributor would be able to help you procure that and some other currency.

Swiss has multiple seats using United points 70k business one way.

IIRC flying LX booking with UA is 80k not 70k. Flying UA booking with UA is 70k.

My mistake, correct. Its 70k to europe and only another 10k to TLV

The easiest way is to book with amex platinum.
I just booked tickets for pesach for 3 people.
Instead of going crazy looking everyday for availability for 3.

I found business with air france for $2,300 that means it costed me 115k points with no fuel.
And I am earning 19k flying blue miles.

After 20 minutes I was fully booked round trip tickets.

I'm looking for two such tickets in the summer. Only Ukraine air is in that price range. Everyone else is at least $3,500 even with a stop. My dates are Jun 25-Jul 6 plus and minus a day..

^ this is Membership Rewards points? can skymiles get converted to those?
i could open an amex platinum and get a sign up bonus, but cant get 500k miles that quickly.

What advantage does it have over the other options?

[mochjas]

What advantage does it have over the other options?

i would know if it was on your chart! Supposedly they don't charge YQ on LX similar to AC so it's just another option to TLV using TY points. But I called and rep was pricing it out with YQ. Was wondering if I should HUCA or rep is right

[mochjas]

And they have nice routing rules when booking RT. They allow 2 free stopovers and an open jaw

What are the redemption rates for TLV-NYC?

[mochjas]

What are the redemption rates for TLV-NYC?

67.5k in J one way. It's only good if there is no yq. If you are paying yq you might as well use sq which also transfers from Citi and is only 57.5k

[arihut]

Does Turkish charge YQ for flights on Swiss, NYC to TLV?

[high end hobo]

Does Turkish charge YQ for flights on Swiss, NYC to TLV?

Yes.

[arihut]

Yes.

Do they pass on the whole ~$500 fuel surcharge or is it less?
