No significant YQ for any of those.

1 night Al maha, 1 night Chabad DXB, 3 nights WAMLE.
Most of those flights had to be manually pieced together with chat/phone agent help.

JFK-IST-NBO TK J, 175k TK + $467
JRO-NBO-JFK KQ J, 138k FB + $483

Quite likely the worst redemption value I've ever gotten, but sometimes you just don't have any better options.

For family: TLV-LHR-TPA in Upper Class, 49K TYP +$252.  A few days after Pesach.

For me: 4X+infant TLV-HEL-TLV in business, 50K+minimal taxes each roundtrip (infant is free) via Finnair via Cap1 points.  Prime dates end of August during summer break.  Never thought I'd actually make a transfer to Finnair!

For me: 5X TLV-AUH in Etihad 787 business.  20K + ~$50 each Aeroplan during Chanukah.

For me: 3X DXB-TLV in Emirates 777 business.  20K + ~$60 Aeroplan each during Chanukah (got it before the rates went up).  Need 2 more, none left on Aeroplan but Emirates has them, so will probably bite the bullet and book them despite the poorer value and higher taxes.

Always praying for delayed baggage.

I had the same issue on MLE DXB MLE, AC was only showing 2, but miraculously it showed 5 a few days later
