I know this is usually a thread for the best way to book using miles, but I didn't want to start a new thread and I think it's still relevant...
This summer I'll be working in Israel for about 8 weeks. My DW won't be joining me full-time until the end of my first month there. She will be coming in for a few days before-during-after Shavuos. As of now, there are plenty of sky team options via air france miles. Right now tickets departing NYC are around $800 via Ukraine--there have been a lot of solid deals, sub-$600 to Israel. I'm not super familiar with the pricing trends. Is the consensus that they pricing will probably go up? If so, i'd just use miles... TIA.
