Why do you prefer UA over LY (assuming price is the same)?
I would stay away from LY with all the stuff going on with them, who knows what the situation will be in a few months.

Opening a can of worms here, but I think many people would say the hard and soft product on UA is better.

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

What exactly would you consider a "dangerous" airport?

This is the paid ticket thread and there's this  You specifically want to take a stop on the way there to tour or you're willing if its the best option.

I I know 40k won't get me 2 tickets, was just putting it out there.  Can someone still assist if I want two tickets, one using points one without?
The longer stopover on the way would be for touring (nothing overnight) and the way back a short stopover would be preferable.  Stopover not completely necessary.

You're probably not going to get one award ticket and one revenue on the same flight, assuming you're trying to spend as little as possible.

Ok thanks for your help.  One more question if you have the time: are the elal flight/hotel deals that they advertise in the Jewish press worth it? The latest one is 1399 for flight and 6 nights in Leonardo hotel or 1149 for flight and 6 nights in Dan panorama.

price it out separately on your own to determine if it is worth it. Remember there are based on double occupancy so they are splitting the hotel cost in 2 to make it seem like it is a good deal.
