It would be 160k, but the only thing is that the AC TLV-YYZ was not available on united even on the phone
and in general it's very hard to get it even with Aeroplan

TLV-ORD finally opened up for 7/13.  TLV-IST-FRA-ORD, stopovers are an hour each.   3 seats + infant.  Thanks Dan!

Kept checking availability while in Israel.  TLV-EWR-ORD finally opened up on 7/11, booked for 7/13 for all 3 + infant.  SO grateful, since we were dreading the 1am TLV-IST-FRA-ORD flight.  They charged $225 to change the 3 tix, but taxes were much lower on the direct to NY flight, so the entire change netted to $45.  Thanks Dan!

The only European airline  to go from Montreal to isreal on a good Business class all the way is  Swiss because if you go with BA
you have a 8hr connection  and Iberia doesn't fly from Montreal,
