Sorry if this is a silly question but does anyone transfer to Etihad? SPG?

Citi as well, although it's not instant.

Yup.
Getting fed up dealing with their CSR.
Everytime I call, I get different availability option's.
Their impossible to work with.

So the ease of booking is worth more than double the miles?

No, but I called 5 times, and have gotten 5 different answers. Hard to work with this, while other options that I originally found are disappearing.

You also can't compare head to head.
SN has 5 hours of fake J after a short TATL flight where you wont get a lot of sleep.

Good to know although not nearly as great of a deal as SN
Quote from: mmgfarb on December 04, 2016, 02:31:12 PM
Yes.
Actually knowing EY I'd say its YMMV
As mentioned below and elsewhere, at least with SN, they don't see what UA, AC, or EF sees.
If someone does call please report back as to whether their avail matches anything.

Also random DP, I transferred SPG-EY and transfer took 10 days.

I wanted to bring up something that hasn't been discussed here. Air Serbia recently starting flying to JFK. Their reviews are great, reverse herringbone business class with very friendly service. The flight from Belgrade to TLV has a real business class seat,  not just a blocked middle.
Availability seems to be great you can search on Alitalia.com.

Cheapest option seems to be Etihad 81k miles each way in business class with no YQ. You can also stopover in Serbia with no extra charge if you want.

Has anyone here booked or flown this route?
How many miles is the JFK-BEG leg? same 81K?
