Using AA miles + BA miles for non-stop NYC area - TLV
« on: May 19, 2015, 02:30:32 PM »
This is my first time posting, so please be a little slow to attack.

I have over 250 AA miles.  I have over 60,000 BA miles.  I want to travel non-stop to Israel with 4 children (hence the non-stop).  Is that possible?  (I could buy additional miles if necessary, which it probably will be).  I want to leave the NY area June 17 for Israel and then leave Israel either late July 4th or early July 5th.

With AA & BA the only direct flight from the U.S. would be US Air flight from PHL. If you use BA Miles you will pay a bundle in fuel charges.

And looking for that many tickets for summer travel without flexible travel dates is going to be tough. Plus you don't have enough points.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

+1 probably the only option, or this is the only option to fly direct with 4 kids on those miles
