SQ.
LH is cheaper:

SQ:
Y = 17.5k + $121
J = 25k + $144

LH (with israel address):
Y = 15k + $121
J = 22k + $144

UA wants 17.5k

Yep, UA is the cheapest with miles.

But cash tickets are sometimes very cheap directly on TG's website or on Expedia's Thailand site - even in business class.

if you are doing round trip, look into AC and see if F is available.

KrisFlyer agent saying they can't book OS TLV-VIE-JFK flights that show on United.com

Is that true or DROPR?
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.
