The pricing is crazy. Premium from JFK to TLV pricing out at 5,076 points. It seems like they are making all seats available for points with some at saver level and others are a mix of cash+points. And all business class availability wiped from expert flyer (X) class and therefore from Qantas as well
Prices fully based on rev, so one way will be much more then round trip

E was wiped from GDS/EF but not from QF

Complete scam that they only show the classic space if you don't have enough points.

True but it doesn't really matter, just check EF or QF.

As the DDMS post explains that engine doesn't have the ability to limit to nonstop /elal flights. Additionally elal space has in the past disappeared from quantas. Always best to see it on elal website.

Is it still that way? Can't look for award ticket if there are not enough points in the account?

What no one seems to realize is that now, EF alerts won't help if you want to book with QF...

Just because there is X or E, doesn't mean QF sees it, until now EF was scraping QFs data, now they'll go back to GDS data...
