USA to Israel on Avios without surcharges/taxes
« on: February 01, 2017, 08:46:22 PM »
 I spoke to British Airways Executive Club and was told that all of their partners are now charging tax. They wanted $600 59k miles for Air Berlin, and similar for Iberian. Are they correct, and is there anyway to do it without these high taxes/charges?
Thanks

No. Just search yourself online and you will see it is available at the regular price.

Proisrael, thanks for the reply.
Please pardon my ignorance, but do I search on BA site or Air Berlin? And where do I tell them that I'm flying with award miles?
Thanks!
