Dan, are any of the airlines matching El Al’s rates from any cities other than NY?
Can i originate in TLV?
@Eli O:
Yes, they are matching from BOS and LAX as well.
@Nate:
No.
Any matching with business class?
Can you upgrade to business?
@Alexander:
No.
@Anonymous:
It’s very expensive to do that.
will this work for TLV-JFK
@leo:
No.
Dan its me DAVID , if i book that economy ticket can i after upgrade with Points to business class?
where?!?!?
that number / price is not there?
Dan – United publishing only 42.5k each way for NYC outbound flights on the days provided
where can you book the points ticket from?
@David:
It would take a lot of points plus a large cash copay.
@david fischer:
For what dates?
@Yitz:
I didn’t say anything about United miles. Read the post.
@a:
From AMEX or Chase.
Will this work FROM TLV to JFK or Newark on any of the 3 airlines?
@Izzy:
Read comment 2 and 8.
@Dan
I booked a united ticket about 2 weeks ago is there any chance of them price matching to the current sale?
R u getting points 3x$1? If so, then it’s 35k MR !!!
Thanks Dan. Can you please update if and when United matches El Al’s dates that work for Pesach and beyond? 😃 I.e., outbound end of March and return flights in April/May. Thank you!!!
@Yudamaan:
Only if you pay the change fee.
@Dealer:
Huh?
@Lee:
They don’t make sales that far out.
@Dan,
When u buy with points on amex it comes first as a cc charge. So my q was if u get 3 points per dollar on these charges? If u get 2,244 MR then the total points used for the ticket will be 35,195…
The return on January 28th is only for a flight on Shabbat not for the flight after Shabbat
@Dan: I was asking only because el al had those dates yesterday at the low price.. Thanks in any case for all your good work!!
Sorry, u only get 1 point per dollar, or 2 points per dollar when u book on amextravel.com
I know you said you didn’t write a thing about booking with points but in the title of the post you wrote “Or fly from 37.4K miles round trip!”
So I have the same question about how to book with miles
tried various dates in March (before Purim) from NY/NJ airports & did not get anywhere close to the $749 fare.
@Anonymous:
That’s not what I said at all.
I said I didn’t say anything about using United miles.
The post clearly says which points I’m talking about.
@Willie:
Did you read the valid dates in the post?
thanks so much dan. just booked round trip non stop with united leaving end of feb 2017 & returning 2 days before purim for only $748.79. thanks also to el-al.
Any deals depart December?
What is best for pit/tlv/pit?
Thanks

@Dan:

what did you say about the $600 travel first year?
Thanx.
Booked for two with Biz Plat for a Shabbos in Yerushalaim, at the beginning of February.The complete trip beginning with the accumulation of points is thanx to you. Be gebenched !
I tried booking with united last night leaving feb 22 coming back mar 2 (dates you wrote) and it didn’t show 748 for any flights on these dates. does that mean it was all sold out already?
i tried to book 5-feb to 9-mar and united gives only T-class for $868 even its available seats on K-class(for a trip starting in tlv)
@weiss:
It died last night.
