Agree that two days is enough in Niagara. Why not add on to Israel and do a mini-vacation in Eilat or some spa type hotel up north?

Good idea...

i agree you will be bored in Niagara more than 2 days
its cheaper to stay on the Canadian side

Is there an updated Getting to Israel with miles post/thread?

And if someone doesn't mind answering what's the cheapest amount of miles I can get to TLV with at the moment in Business?

I have 50K UR points and 60K Starpoints. Looking to book two tickets JFK-TLV roundtrip sometime in late June-early July. What are my options?

You don't have options for 2 tickets to Israel, sorry.

Incorrect.

If he/she can take advantage of Flying Blue promo for 25k r/t they can have enough. But they don't have for those dates any promos in economy so if they would take advantage of this they would need to wait.

Should be enough to book AB with Avios. Check BA for AB availability and transfer Ultimate rewards and SPG points into BA.

Meant those days summer time is close to impossible to find with that amount of points.

Ok so for flying with AB on BA you would need 60k a person and you currently only have 1
50k UR and 60k spg but if you transfer 60k spg to BA it will give you 70 BA so you would be good.

Now search with AA or search for on leg at a time on BA, NYC-DUS and then DUS-TLV and then you may have to call BA to book that flight. Good luck.

We're thinking of going to Israel this summer (2 ppl), and want to fly business. Between UR and United miles I have 249k.

I know it's not enough for 2 RT tickets on united. Are there any other options for business class?

Otherwise I can open a new SP. Can anyone tell me how far in advance I'd need to book for Bein Hazmanim?

Thanks!

First try & get 2 LH CC's at 50k bonuses for the return.. Outbound maybe 67,500 AA via PHL or maybe 62,500 AF if you get lucky on DL

That was fast!

I'm a noob at booking tickets, so please pardon my ignorance.

What's LH? And what's AF?

Chapshnell · « **Reply #38 on:** April 19, 2015, 09:53:50 PM »

Lufthansa (miles & more) & Air France (flying blue)

Thanks! How many LH miles = one business ticket? And would that be with a stopover?

I have enough miles for one way with united; just need to figure out the other way.

Oh, and I have 27K MR if that helps for anything.
