Nonstop US/Israel - United vs. Delta vs. El Al
« on: August 22, 2013, 11:33:05 AM »
For someone who will be flying frequently between the US and Israel non-stop, what is the best option for mileage and credit card combo United, Delta or El Al? Who has the best combo mileage program/upgrades/free bags.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Upgrades and lounge access are best on Elal.

By far

Do you mean for a chance at an upgrade? Or the actual service/seat?
