NYC to TLV 'economy' for Sukkas What's the best way to book with AMEX membership rewards?

It's an expensive season so points transfer is probably cheaper than using the 35% points back, Correct?

(Is there any special thread for Sukkas-In-Israel questions?)

Probably best asking in the proper format suggested in this thread and in that thread. Too many variables to give a coherent answer here.

Thanks.

I'd use the miles. You'll get a 2.15 cent value per mile.

http://wandr.me/widebody/search/ used to be my go-to for this, though it seems to no longer be pulling results.

What's wrong with Aeroflot if I may ask? Ukraine International has good prices as well.

Yep google gave me that... alas it’s not working anymore. Do other airlines also have such a list? I assume cargo shippers need to know that info
