Are you flexible?Europe is very cheap but that usually entails being flexible.the cheapest carriers direct to Greece are usually Aegean and Up. if your looking to get there as cheap as possible then your best bet is probably to fly to Athens and back from Thessaloniki for around $160 and then take a short flight to Thessaloniki (Ryanair flies that route and is usually around $25 as well as Aegean who usually is around $50)
on a side note can i ask, is there a specific reason for Thessaloniki? since it is slightly underwhelming when you have the rest of Greece.

Where do you suggest.  We are very flexible on location.  We will only have 3-4 days, would like to not need to rent a car, fly cheap or even better with points from tlv and be able to stay at a hyatt where we have 4 nights of free rooms.
Any suggestions on location would be appreciated.

that pretty much narrows it down to Thessaloniki or Milan. Though my particular service i had in the Hyatt in Thessaloniki was the best i experienced in any hyatt, IMO its not worth going there over the other places just since you have the free nights. for me it got old in a day

I need to get a small, very important package from Venice to Israel, ASAP. What is the absolute physically cheapest possible way to make the trip (either originating in Israel, so I can pick it up; or originating in Venice, so I can bribe someone from there to bring it here)? No baggage, no frills, no EQMs or whatever - just round-trip travel, zehu. Any ideas?

According to http://www.economicalexcursionists.com/travelTools/, the best option would be Avianca (20k Y; 35k J) with a stop in Stockholm (flying SK to ARN and then KF (?) Blue1 to TOS). You could fly the same route using United miles, but it would be 25k and 45k.
However, other websites aren't showing a two-flight combination that way, so I'm not really sure if it's a possible routing any more. OpenFlights and OptiFly both say that only Norwegian Air Shuttle flies direct TLV-ARN.

How can I figure out a list of published routings to take advantage of AA's cheap rates from TLV to elsewhere in the Middle East (MLE, for example), or to Asia?
