That's not going to work, since I'm stopping in Vce on the way.
My problem is that I don't want to have to use the extra miles for J, when all I'm getting now in J is the Europe-TLV part, and not the long haul NYC-Europe. There is no more Y available on the flight I'll need RT Europe-TLV, so now I'm not sure if I should book separately, and save the miles, or book as one, and hope J opens up.
