Feedback On New "Getting To Israel Using Miles" Post/Chart

[ckmk47]

The chart is clear and readable.
Thank you.



(You could probably stick close-in fees under the fuel surcharge info.)

Excellent job on the chart. However you can't transfer mr to anyone anymore

[Kempmill]

Than you Dan. I do also like the red headers from the old chart that prioritize airlines in each group and state the benefits. Can I suggest that you also leave that chart active with a link to this one with updated mileage rates?

1) The spacing between sentences is inconsistent (some are double-spaced and some are single-spaced)

2) Typo:

The real value of miles is when you need a last-minute ticket, a one-way ticket, a ticket with a stopover, or a ticket in business or in first class.

3) Inconsistent notation of registered marks (though this may be because of affiliate rules that I'm not aware of), plus an extra space before the comma after the EveryDay Credit Card from American Express.

The Amex EveryDay Credit Card from American Express, The Amex EveryDay Preferred Credit Card from American Express, the American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card and The Platinum Card® from American Express.

4) More commas with extra space

Chase Ultimate Rewards points are earned from cards like Sapphire Preferred, Freedom Visa, Ink Bold, Ink Plus, or Ink Cash.

5) Doubled letter.

Otherwise a month in advance is a typical sweet spot.

Nitpicky editing is the best editing.

1. I think ANA changes are FREE only if you keep the route and airline.

2. on BA it says-Instead of cash, BA charges just 10% of the adult mileage required on international segments.
I think you should write you are talking about an infant.

At least not until I find someone to redesign the site

I don't know a thing about web design, but can't you just widen the whole page (like page layout on Word)?

much more complicated than that

You can over the phone.

Added some benefits to the notes section and close in fees to the YQ section.

Double spacing and trademark are all intentional, thanks for the rest though.

ANA actually doesn't allow anything but date changes, clarified that.
Thanks.

I would add in 25% off promo awards to the air France / KLM options as the 50% offers are less frequent. I would also add a note in the ana section that tickets from cities other than NYC will cost more miles due to their distance based award chart.

Done.

Now published, thanks for the feedback everyone!

[whacked1]

Awesome chart and very well written!
Thanks

Awesome chart and very well written!
Thanks

+1. Great feedback from everyone.

[Something Fishy]

***While American got rid of stopovers on awards, due to quirky pricing you can still take AAdvantage of stopovers when flying to Israel.  This is especially helpful as El Al has lots of flights from Europe to Israel.

LOL

[meshugener]

Thank you Dan!
Obviously a lot of work.

One comment:
"Lufthansa: No infant charges except for taxes."

That's not accurate IME, they charge a flat fee of $17.50 for an infant (that's way cheaper than German airport taxes).

Are you sure it's a flat-fee and not based on some sort of tax?

That's what two different reps told me. No actual bookings.
