Let me just understand this... Do people fly JFK-HKG-TLV as a thing? Why would you fly such a roundabout way unless you're Ferdinand Magellan? Please enlighten me.

For the free stopover in HKG. And the better airline.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

That's if you want to go to HKG. But if you have no interest in HKG then I think it would be insane to take this route just for a better airline. No?

For you it would be insane, for others for the value of a point its one of the best options out there.

I have to go NYC - HKG a lot for work and almost always around the major jewish holidays. Hopefully you're right and most people wouldn't go around the world and leave some availability for me to route through Israel once in a while.

It's an interesting way to go to TLV, and people enjoy the fact that there's a $20k MSRP on the ticket they spent 70k AS on.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Elal vs Cathay

That's like people who enjoy paying $600 for a $3,000 MSRP pair of Louis Vuitton shoes. Granted CX F is an awesome product and Louis Vuitton is overpriced cr@p, but Freddie has a point. It's a wannabe move to fly double the distance just to get "better value" out of your 70k AS.

Flying J on UA 84 will also get you there feeling like a person, especially if this is true
According to TPG's snapchat, UA is going to be flying the new 777 with the new Polaris seats, EWR-TLV starting in May.
