Should I start concentrating on getting more UR miles instead of AA? Avios? I'm referring to trips to Israel from NY.

US PHL-TLV
AA/BA - LHR > BA LHR-TLV
IB - JFK-MAD-TLV
RJ
AB - JFK-TXL-TLV - but then its only economy from TXL to TLV
Does IB MAD-TLV have better biz class then AB TXL-TLV?

+1 Unless he paid just 90k..
and he actually did pay 90k
Lax-auh O
Auh-amm I
Amm-tlv U



why is that surprising?
because EY does not have published fare to tlv.

Going I did EK F, 90 AS. JFK-Amm. I'm just having a hard time getting from AMM-TLV. Avios is not showing availability.  AA wants 25K. A paid ticket is $368 . Best way will probably be Taking a taxi, but I'll need to buy a visa for $60 and Taxis will cost me around $100.

I'll be staying in dubai for a day, and Jordan a half a day. I've already been to and toured  and explored both, I don't need more time.
