557$ JFK-TLV for PURIM!!

[shimino1]

Here's how:
If you run a regular search JFK-TLV departing the week before Purim and returning the week after, the best you get is almost 700$ and includes very long stopovers.
You have to make 2 separate trips: 1. JFK-SVO 2. SVO-TLV

Example:
Trip 1: Depart JFK on Monday, March 2 at 2:20PM Land at SVO 7:20AM Teusday morning, March 3.
           Return from SVO on Wednesday, March 11 at 9:50AM land at JFK at 1:30PM.
Price: 383$

Trip 2: Takeoff from SVO on Tuesday March 3, at 9:00AM, Land in TLV at 12:20PM
          Return from TLV on Wednesday March 11, at 1:00 AM, Land in SVO at  6:10AM
Price: 174$

You end up with a 557$ round-trip flight on the same carrier with short stopovers.
Should work for other dates also.

Enjoy!

I think if you're booking a flight into SVO, they won't let you board without a Russian visa

Hua? Same airport, same terminal.

[tjak]

Hua? Same airport, same terminal.

But your booking a ticket that ends in Russia they don't know that you booked a second ticket from Russia.

They do becuase you have a ticket booked to Israel. Its the same AIRLINE.
Besides, since when is it the airlines job to enforce visa regulations?

always, or else they'll have to bring you back

On Kayak, you can get this fare without any TRICKS:

[yandmk]

Or Ukraine for similar dates and shorter stops @$587 bookable on many other sites including Priceline.

[yandmk]

Or Alitalia for $799 for those who are afraid of Russia/Ukraine also with short stops for a variety of dates.

On Kayak, you can get this fare without any TRICKS:

1 seat left and only on those dates.
The fare I posted has much more availability and more dates. Plus its on a better carrier.

A lot of people dont want to fly through Ukraine but dont mind Russia.

Other than ignorant fear,  I'm not sure why not

Its on the airline to ensure that you have the right to enter (visa etc), if not, they have to pay your return plus a fine from the govt

The airlines don't always enforce it

Always better to be friends with the winning side.
Planes aren't going down over Russia.

[Emkay]

Planes aren't going down over Russia.

Precisely what I thought you would say.
As I said before it is a little bit of ignorance

[shimino1]

Precisely what I thought you would say.

And what am I going to say next master? 

[Emkay]

And what am I going to say next master? 

I am not at liberty to disclose that

[shimino1]

I am not at liberty to disclose that

That is NOT the next thing I said!!!
