Is flying Transaero worth it?
« on: October 17, 2013, 03:50:01 PM »
I see they have lots of dates TLV-JFK in the winter for $705 on Orbitz, is it worth the money or I will regret it?

My friend flew with them a few months ago, and had major issues.
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

+1 might be worth adding $150 just for the miles

With amex coverage maybe that's a good thing?

I flew 2 years ago no issues. But I would still pay more for a better airline they have horrible old uncomfortable planes.

I agree! I wouldn't do again, unless I need 2 suitcases.

you should find out first because some of the cheap TK give you no miles. but may still be worth it for the better experience
