TLV-JFK for $572.76 on Air France!
« on: October 18, 2015, 10:52:15 AM »
Sample dates:
TLV-CDG-JFK - November 9
JFK-CDG-TLV - November 18

This is a great price, especially considering that (1) it's a "normal" airline (i.e. not Ukrainian Airlines or something), and (2) this is for trips originating in TLV - and poor little TLV never seems to get as many sale fares as NYC does. :P

Note that this price is also valid for itineraries that include CDG<->NYC codeshare flights that are operated by Delta (with an AF flight number), if you prefer to fly on a Delta plane for the long-haul segment(s).

Also, Delta Silver status (which is not very hard to get, even without flying - via the Amex Delta Platinum and Reserve cards, or it can be given to you as a gift by an existing Delta Platinum member) gets you a FREE extra bag (just for the elite member) when flying Air France, and a FREE extra bag for you AND YOUR COMPANIONS AS WELL when flying Delta. Contrast that to the Star Alliance, where only Gold and up gets any sort of free baggage benefit... :D

How can I get silver status with delta ? With plat card ?

Off the top of my head... the Amex Delta Platinum card earns 5k or 10k elite-qualifying miles as part of the signup bonus (depending on whether you sign up during a promo or not), another 10k elite-qualifying miles for spending $25k, and another 10k for spending another $25k. So in a nutshell... if you sign up for the Delta Platinum card and spend $50k within the first calendar year, you'll earn a total of either 25k or 30k elite-qualifying miles, which is enough for Silver status.

While AF stated on their website that the promotion would be ending Oct. 28, (and it actually did for a few days) it seems like it's back, and even better than before at $548.56!! Sample dates I checked - 02/15-02/24 bookable on Orbitz. MANY more dates available.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

AZ? I was talking about AF. However, that was during the promotion period you mentioned.

Well, check your link again. It's a promo for AZ. And THIS thread was actually discussing AF, that's why I posted it here as an update.

In Tapatalk, it links directly to a post (#4 in that thread) that mentions $560 AF tickets tlv-nyc.

According to airfrance.com, the last day to purchase these fares is tomorrow Nov 30. So now's the time to grab a seat as low as $536.63!
