What's Aeroflot's "comfort" class like? Is it possible to get it with an economy ticket by asking the GA or is it a completely different class and out of the question?
Anyone with experience?

First off it's absolutely terrific! I think it's 38 pitch. I think they treat it like 3/4 Buisness class so unlikely but imo definitely worth the extra money.

Hope this is the right place. I sold our miles so now I will pay for my tickets so I can choose the airline. Which airline is the best (business class) to Israel at the end of January IYH? Never liked ElAl very much but I heard they might have a new plane? Doesn't mean it's better. Also, when's the best time to find cheaper flights for an end of January trip? Thanks.

Sold the AA cause could never find a flight except BA with tremendous fees. Which would be the best airline to use?

Everything you need to know is within the first 6 topics of "up in the air".

Shouldn't be a problem. If they ask at passport control, they should just say they're in the process of applying for a visa.
Been there done that. Multiple times.

Yeah never had a return when I flew, never said anything. Also if you dont have a visa they give a 3 month tourist visa anyhow which is better for when renting cars and hotels since you dont pay tax. Once you get a student visa ( ask to a working visa or at least for your wife when you get your student visa, they might not give it to you but it cant hurt to ask) you have pay a 17% tax on rental cars and hotels.

Once I change my address on Miles and More to Israel, how long should it take for me to see Israeli rates for mileage travel?
