170k AF with around 510 YQ is probably better

170k AF with around 510 YQ is probably better

i see, the only problem is that the chasuna is wednesday at 6:30 , AF will arrive at 11:30,  the only flight i see that will depart CDG and arrive in TLV and have a shot of making the chasuna is LY 320 but that is $400,  I dont see that making sense. thoughts?

Did you search on ANA? or Singapore. ORD has excellent availability in J on Turkish (up to 6 seats) and Lot (1 seat) on most dates.  Also TAP Portugal often has seat on that route and almost no fees. Lot is very low and Turkish is still reasonable for J at about $230 OW and Lie Flat the whole way to Israel and a very short layover connecting from the ORD flight.  It's 69k SQ points transferable from Chase.

hence my problem,  and as i said I am totally sandwiched between shavuos and the chasuna. what would you do?

Biz Plat?

TK has a non-saver J seat for 120k TYP OW +$307.80
JFK-IST-TLV 12:30pm Departure 8:40am Arrival  You can have them add ORD-JFK connection. They have a saver seat for 47k but only on the 0:30 flight but there is no way to make that flight from ORD. You can figure out return.

Did you check from Boston and ATL? These are two other cities that also tend to have tons of Turkish J space.  Might have to add an extra leg if you want those exact days in J.  For the return did you check BA? Fees actually aren’t outrageous ex TLV.

Sometimes never

[KSMH]

Sometimes never

In my experience depending on route, but there is usually a trend. So follow a specific route each day for 2 weeks and you should get the hang of it.
