Looking for a short 2/3 day trip -
Would be leaving from TLV so I'm thinking somewhere in Italy where I can use Flying Blue miles.
I've done Milan and Venice.
I'm not interested in doing Rome at the moment.
Any other ideas?
If not I may go back to Venice.
Open to other suggestions as well.
What interests you in a city? Pompeii maybe? Though you cant really go wrong with going to vce again

Cyprus
ETA: didn't see the part about using flying blue miles. Other than that cyprus is a very good option
Cyprus remains the least interesting country I have ever flown to

Since my LOR doesn't allow me says that it's not allowed to stay in HI over Friday/Shabbos, I'm thinking if I should go Thu - Mon to LAX or LAS.
I was in LAX for a week a couple of years back, so I would rather want to see LAS. My problem is that to LAS there is no Non-Stop flights (with this I can live), but more important, I can't find any reward tickets to LAS (from LIH) or from LAS to EWR.
I have a lot of Chase, and enough for 1 ticket with AA on regular rewards ( I need two tickets).

So I will be on the Alps in Austria from Wed-Sun. I wanna leave the alps Sunday morning and visit some place in Europe. I can fly out of SZG if need be. I don't mind some tours of WW2. I don't have any preferences. I just want something nice and rememberable. I have until Wed.

Mont Tremblant seems to be a great getaway that comes with 4.5 avois redemption each way. Why is there no mention of this it any tr ta all. Am I missing something?

Great skiing there, though once you land in YUL you still got a 2 hour drive.

Is the drive the catch here?? It does the weather or more play a role in this?? Or was it simply overlooked since it's not as exotic as all the other locations??

3 days skiing in a row? your knees must be in great shape.. When I ski in Switzerland I need to take breaks in between days when I ski.. the skiing is pretty stressful on my knees & i'm a young guy.

Age is nothing but a number. It's all about the stamina, and how one takes care of their body.
