I've been searching for flights on Chase Ultimate Rewards and their Expedia based search has gotten ridiculous. It is now showing prices around $200-300 RT TLV-NYC but in reality those flights come up with a final price of $700+ which is visible only after choosing flights for both directions.
Anybody have tips on the best way to use that search these days?

Thanks.

Search on Expedia [  if you want UA ] directly and then book with UA.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

Looking to book 2 seats on GOL Airlines or LATAM IGU-GRU (flight is 525 miles)

Delta has one seat left for the flight that I'm looking at for 12.5k miles.

Etihad & emirates (for GOL), BA, AA (for LATAM) and there was nothing available.

Any idea?

You can look into UA for travel on Avianca or Azul.
