You can transfer AMEX Or Citi points to Qantas at a 1:1 ratio, Barclays points at a 1.4:1 ratio, Capital One points at a 2:1.5 ratio, or Marriott points to Qantas at a 60K:25K ratio.

Qantas doesn’t charge fuel surcharges for El Al flights.
Infants are free (besides taxes). They also get a regular checked baggage allowance of 23 kg.

QF runs regular transfer bonus promos. Be sure to transfer 500 points into your account and opt in for emails to get targeted.

Search availability on elal.com
Flights are bookable from NYC, BOS, MIA, and LAX.

SMS is the easiest way to contact Qantas. The number is 1-478-772-6827. This can be used for airports that are unavailable online.

NYC-TLV is 37.8k points each way in Y, 63k in premium economy and 78k in J.
On 9/18/19 premium economy will be going up to 70.8k and J will be going up to 90k (each way).
Cancellation fee is 6k points.

Still not showing up on Qantas. Maybe it take a few minutes to update on their side.

Tried sms this morning, they had availability. But since they were slammed on sms, it was gone by the time they got around to book it. Unsure if its just my date or accross the board NYC - TLV.

Tried calling, waited on hold for an our and then gave up. Not very polished situation here.

How long does it normally take for them to deduct the points on your flight?
I booked about two weeks ago, added the passport info about a week ago, and still havent had points deducted even though it says my status is confirmed. Im sure my points will be deducted eventually I just hope im ticketed before my flight which is in two days.

Txt or Twitter DM QF to have “secure flight info” completed. Had this issue multiple times, and each time was able to get it ticketed within a few hours

Why not just text to book NYC-TLV?
