So the J product is much to be desired on a route like this. Especially with CDG-TLV being a blocked middle seat.

It's better than regular economy, but no comparison to J.

Personally would rather fly DL direct for 25k + a few dollars than the premium economy with stop and higher yq

Imho this is at least as good a deal as Minneapolis. Esp with the fact that the second half isnt really biz

correct, and the yq is more expensive in premium. I just searched dates that work for me (6/14-16 from tlv), yq on premium was $384.08 wheras economy was $253.86. Essentially you are paying ~130 for premium...(imho not really a great deal)

IMO just $130 more is way worth is.

I'm not seeing JFK-TLV. Is it no longer available, or am I missing something?

TLV is considered part of EUR for Flying Blue purposes. Just look for JFK-EUR
