did anything change regarding the miles required for a flight? TLV-MIA says starting from 22k, TLV-JFK 25k and TLV-ATL for 29k. Was it always like this?

No, but for a while it has been. They have variable reward pricing, but it’s not as bad as delta 😂

Not sure what you mean, or what route you want. Why not look it up? The FB calendar view is very easy to navigate.

Not in my experience, but others here with more experience may tell you otherwise.

Anyone having an issue seeing domestic DL flights? FB keeps on saying no flights available when there very definitely are.

How do you confirm if it's phantom before transferring?

Unfortunately DL won't work. So search on Skyteam partners, or EF

Just made a booking today for 98K miles and it gave me an error in middle booking but it did create a confirmation number, I called them and wanted to issue the ticket , they said I’m sorry the class you were trying to book is no longer available, the only class available would cost 72,500, are you willing to book it? I was like ummm I think so!!

There can be issues if you don't use the account holders CC.

I saw it a few times, but I believe it is phantom. Wasn't able to book.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
