Searching various dates to TLV only brings up BA and Korean. They used to show Air France KLM, did something change?

They don't have access to the same space that FB offers their own members.

This thread discusses the same issue.

All i can say is that awhile ago AF flights were easily available to TLV. Now its just BA with very high YQ.

Anyone have a good way to use AS miles to get to TLV? Award on AS to Europe and then FB miles to TLV?

Does AS ever allow one way award booking, or do they always charge the round trip fare ?

Ok. Thank you.

For 100K, better off flying into DXB and then another long-haul for the same price.

How does that help me, if I'm flying out of Milan to get to Jfk ?

Not specific to your case, but in general.

I'm looking at an AF flight WAS-TLV, it is available on Delta site. On Alaska it is only available to CDG but not CDG-TLV.
I called Alaska and they said what I see online is what they see.

I could book on Delta but its far out and I need Alaska's flexibility to cancel.

So Delta gets better availability than Alaska on AF?

Question:

Should I book J in EK via AS if really I'm waiting to get F on that same flight?
There are 4 revenue F seats available but no award seats.

What's the cancellation/change policy for alaska awards?

That's what d93 said but he's drunk at 40k ft so I can't trust him, lol.

Do you know how long it takes for the points to reappear in the account?

Total cost of BA F TLV-JFK are 80k + $271. Has this always been the case (YQ would be 0 at that price, right?)? Not a bad redemption IMO, especially since availability in advance is pretty good.

Edit: works only for ex-TLV with <24hr connection. You probably could add a leg on AS later on for free.

271 is more than just taxes.
Can you see a breakdown of the fare?
