There is no TK F AFAIK

Thanks.
Is there a big difference between TK in business and LH F ?

In other words what should I be aiming for?

This is my dillema, I'm not sure if I should go business or spend the extra 30,000 for first. Is F worth the extra 30,000 points?

I'm talking UA here, although I do have plenty AA if there is something nicer there.

To be able to assist you, I'd advise you to post a breakdown what your available options are:
1) airline
2) class(es) of cabin available
3) how many miles they ask for your trip
4) fees/taxes/YQ
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

There's no "F' NYC-TLV on UA.

Miles have only a little to do with it.

It depends what airline and plane you're flying.

C'mon Were talking NYC-TLV here, that's either 150,000 in F or 120,000 in J.

I'm asking the pro's if it's generally worth the extra 30,000 miles for F.
The thread is tiltled " the best *alliance..." I'm wondering if it's worth the extra 30,000 points for the"best" F as opposed to the "best" J

F would be for examps LH ,or if I can get like you got LX or SQ.

Business would be I don't know.., maybe UA, LX, TK....

Or should I aim for one way on LH F etc; and the way back LX J etc;?

Would using AA get me better options in terms of nicer airlines and similar taxes and fees to UA?

    Without knowing what miles you have (though it's been requested), the best overall, non-direct, flights to TLV would probably be:

    • NYC-FRA(SQ F)-ZRH(??)-TLV(LX J)
      (Use SQ miles)

    • NYC-ZRH(LX F)-TLV(LX J)
      (Use Miles & More)

    • NYC-FRA(LH F)-ZRH(??)-TLV(LX J)
      (Use UA or Miles and More)

In that case, if you want the best, without regard for convenience, go:

  • NYC-FRA(LH F)-ZRH(??)-TLV(LX J)
    (Use UA or Miles and More)
