I stand corrected...It's between 42.5K and 85K
Most days, it's 85K
I take you don't have UA credit card?

I have the Chase Ink card....I remember a few weeks back checking United's web site for the mileage flights.
Perhaps you can enlighten me with United's mileage awards?

In other words, you can't see XN availability.

Thanks Dan for the info.
I guess I should of signed up for the United Card instead of the American Airlines Card just before they stopped flying to Israel and currently have around 125K miles with no real use for it.

It's not that hard.....You can use Chase UR points and transfer them over to united airlines for 85K points EWR-TLV (each way).
I can also pay 4500$ and get a economy ticket even if the plane is totally booked. The q. Was what is the best option

Israel isn't the only place

Freedom unlimited is better and more versatile than a 2% card.

Why so excited, Dan? The card doesn't exist yet. Besides, if the purpose is for minting UR points, Ink at an office store is still way better.

Contrary to popular belief, there's more destinations in the world than just TLV.
