From what I've read here, one of the advantages of using ANA miles to book United travel was that they did not add on hefty fuel surcharges for such flights. I spoke with customer service today regarding booking a flight to Israel and was told that it would cost 60,000 miles (great!) plus $487.07 in fees/charges (not so great). Maybe this was already reported in DDF, but ANA told me they started adding on fuel surcharges about a month ago.
With all that, what are the best options now for using United miles and Amex Membership Rewards to book flights to Israel?
