there is availability online, but i don't think the promo includes delta. only klm and af. also the taxes aren't "a couple hundred dollars" they're about 700 dollars on a roundtrip. at 25k for coach af during the promo + $700, or 50k for coach on dl + $700 you're not really saving too much, if anything. at that price transfer you're points to ba with the %50 bonus, and you can fly rt from the states for 50k (34k amex) with about $500 in taxes, and much better availability.

BA is 65k/130k to TLV. So 25k/50k even with the couple hundred dollar extra charge is still a better deal.

A reliable blogger recently posted about this deal and said that Amex MR > Flying Blue transfers are instant.

They're always offering this.
It's nearly impossible to get TLV at the promo rates. I don't think you can get TLV online and good luck a phone rep to give you an online promo price for TLV even if it is a website bug.
Also massive fuel surcharges.

Those @#&µ Flying poops don't book promo awards over the telephone. I told them that from A-B and B-C is available on promo, but the site when giving in A-C cannot figure it out on its own. They don't care.

Being a Plat does NOT help.

that's sad to hear as I got them instantly moved over to my newly made flying blue account.... and I mean instantly within seconds... might be is that u need to link which they say takes a couple of days then just go to the MR page and put in the points u want to transfer and the account number ur transferring it to

joey89 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 09, 2012, 02:53:51 PM »

Just checked last night still around. It's only on the airfrance site (not delta site) and the $78 tax without fuel surcharge is only on DL flights

Or on AF OW flights from TLV, IIRC.

I didn't check that, but I know that on KLM there r some pretty large fuel surcharges

shmiel · « **Reply #32 on:** January 10, 2012, 09:47:34 AM »

The promo rates usually only apply to KLM or AF, and with them there are hefty fuel surcharges.

sometimes when the jfk-Europe flight is on delta there are no fuel surcharges

eli1571 · « **Reply #35 on:** January 11, 2012, 11:05:25 AM »

eli1571 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 11, 2012, 11:17:13 AM »

Just searched on AF a delta flight nyc-tlv on JAn 28, it comes out to 19.20 taxes and charges.
are there any other charges I dont know about?

SuperFlyer · « **Reply #38 on:** January 13, 2012, 01:20:42 AM »

Just click next, until it asks for a cc, so you know if its final.

I've had already the taxes jumping up on the last screen...
