He says "If you’re looking to use points or miles for El Al’s new service, your only option for the time being is transferring American Express Membership Rewards points to El Al’s Matmid frequent flyer program. The current transfer ratio isn’t very appealing, with 1,000 MR points equal to a mere 20 Matmid points. That means a business class award redemption will cost you 200,000 Membership Rewards points"

Cant you book with Qantas?

I wonder if this will stop AA from launching flights to Israel, I imagine their Philly plan was to get the ORD traffic but with a direct flight with Elal this can hurt them....

You could be right. I know when Philly had their flight it seemed like almost everyone from Denver took that route and when this ElAl route starts it will be my go to flight.

He is the US ambassador to Germany and not affiliated with AA, so it's unlikely he has insider information.

It seems a lot of his tweets deal with Israel/Antisemitsm

Was just thinking along these lines. Weird that as tensions are rising, the flight frequency is increasing as well.

That's precisely the point. They don't allow El Al to fly to Turkey, and Israel let's them in, and they're partying on the monopoly....
