For RT I think AC.
On GCMap it's exactly 300 miles which means it's 28k RT with ANA. Question is if it prices like that.

Starting off in LON I need to be in TLV starting the beginning of April for a few months. Would like to spend 10 days mid August in BKK return to TLV and then eventually get back to LON at some point. What do you recommend as my best options re OJ or stopover? Should I forget the first or last leg and book it separate? Any advantages of using ANA or Singapore for this booking?

Thanx for the help!
