i have 100,000 flying blue points. I would like to go to Israel in January 12-23 2011. To go through France or Italy will cost over $900 per person in addition to 50,000 FB points. I found flights via Amsterdam on KLM for 50,000 FB points and $415 in taxes and fees per person. Additionally, there is a direct flight for the return leg via delta although the only availability is in Business Class. This will cost an extra 25,000 FB points and $115 per person. Is the Amsterdam deal worth it? is the business upgrade direct TLV:NYC worth it? is there any other way to use these points so that they are not wasted?
any help would be much appreciated
