Next Vacation - Ideas

[Cw3323]

Would 2 business + 5 economy on the same non-stop route be realistic?

on standard award yes, on saver award %50 chance with a united card

All of the non-stops  (EWR<>TLV on UA; JFK<>TLV on DL; and PHL<>TLV on US) are notoriously difficult as it is, but you can almost surely toss the idea of finding 6 biz tickets on the same plane on your particular dates without lotto-like luck.

If you don't require non-stop, I'd say that Star Alliance is your best bet considering their many partners, but as for which partner,  it'll depend on whether you'd spend more miles on UA (160K RT in J) or less miles plus YQ with NH (90K + YQ).

Any suggestions for a good 1-2 day stopover with kids on the way to TLV?

Anywhere with service to TLV... half dozen places.

For me, half of the fun of a trip is the planning part.

I would kill myself.

Isn't standard business award 350K? Not worth it.

Russia, Germany, France, Greece, Austria, Switzerland...

Thanks, much appreciated. Is availability from TLV to NYC also limited - do I have to connect through Europe on the way back as well?

The Bahamas are very flat, while the Virgin Islands are very mountains (especially St. John). Do a quick Google image search on the Bahamas and then on Virgin Islands National Park and I think you'll agree that the VI are more beautiful.

Thanks for the info, now here comes the next question, is there any kosher in Virgin Islands? Minyan?

There's a VI master thread here IIRC (can't search now).

That's some master thread...

I think there's a better one on St. Johns...

I haven't been many places in the carribean, but we had a fantastic time in cancun, and for midwinter break there are minyanim and great kosher food options (with delivery). Check out the cancun master thread. Don't tell everyone, part of the greatness is it feels like miami when it's not packed with ny rich jewish kids.
