TLV-MXP LY J (737) x2
45k AS + 47$ - I've had these sitting around for years...
43.8k QF + 28GBP - transferred in from a dormant Amex MR account, and then transferred to my account to book
VCE-VIE-TLV OS Y x2
27.5k UA + 46.10$ pp
ZRH-VCE LX Y x2 - will likely be cancelled
6k UA + 37.50$ pp
VCE-MAD IB Y x2 - will likely be cancelled
12.5k AA + 28.90$ pp
Trying to do a short weekend in VCE from TLV in February.. But I can't make the direct W6 flight on Thursday morning

Least amount of transfers that get me in earliest to VCE is LY TLV-ZRH, and then LX ZRH-VCE on Friday morning, but there's no availability on the TLV-ZRH... So in the meantime, I plan on taking a train from Milan to VCE early Friday morning instead.
For the return, we plan on spending most of the day in Vienna.. Unless some availability FRA-TLV opens up, since I also have a hard deadline Sunday night back in TLV... But hey, at least I get to take a trip, right?

I also thought of booking VCE-MAD-TLV on IB. Advantage - I get in to TLV a bit earlier, disadvantage - flight departs earlier then to FRA or VIE. And I'm AA Plat. But it's not that simple (and if anyone has any advice I'm very open to it!)
- while IB has the best price for the entire trip, my IB account isn't old enough to get transfers in from BA, where I have a nice stash of avios
- BA only sees MAD-TLV, not VCE-MAD and has cancellation fees
- AA only sees VCE-MAD, not MAD-TLV. I've called twice and both agents say there's no space
Looking forward to Venice!
