Yup, booked CLE-EWR-GVA-IST-TLV for a friend.
He's probably going to kill me once he comes back.
>24 hrs of traveling, you bet he will.

Why not give him F? NYC-GVA  :)
I'm not giving him anything but my time, they're his miles.

Thats still better than my previous trip. TLV-IST-FRA-ORD-MSP-RST.

And to think my trip would be perfect, UA delayed my bags 3 days FRA-ORD, plus that flight was delayed so missed my connection ORD-MSP on delta but luckily they were able put me on the later flight and still make my connection MSP-RST.

WAS a lot of traveling in one day. Started 5am Israel time, ended 11pm Central Time.

IMHO leaving the airport breaks up the trip in these scenarios a lot. It turns it into two separate trips and u get a free mini chill in a random city...

How many people?
You ok with first leg to Europe in Y? (i.e. TLV-MUC Y, MUC-IAD J, IAD-CLE J) If that first leg is in J it would price out as 80k, if it is in Y it would price out at 70k

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
