If I already bought a ticket on delta, do you think they will refund the difference?
@Mo:
You would have to pay the change fee.
Dan, I have never used the Amex Biz Plat MR points offer, so I’m just clarifying: To use it for Delta economy, I need to name Delta as my airline for this calendar year, and rules say can only change airlines once per year but YMMV. If, however, I wanted to book with these MR points for a premium class flight, it can be with any airline, not limited to the one I “declared”. Is that accurate?
Delta coming up at $886, feb 19-26
@zow:
Correct.
@Liz:
I didn’t write that the 26th was a valid return date in the post.
Checked few different dates all that you listed and nothing showing up for this price
@David:
For a useful data point, please post the exact dates you searched.
@Dan: I know, but the 25th is a Saturday midnight flight so that’s on Shabbos, right?
Any flights available for the first week in may or delta is also only through march?
When you say 37.4 points, is that Delta points or other points?
@Liz:
All valid dates are in the post.
@YS:
All valid dates are in the post.
@Mike:
No, read the post.
Departing 17 or 18thh to the 27th or 31st nothing showing
@David:
Month would also be useful…
JFK departures on 1/21 or 1/22 and return on 1/30 showing 776 and you need to change in Amsterdam.
@Anonymous:
Read the post please.
I did not write that 1/30 is a valid return date.
JFK departures on 1/21 or 1/22 and return on 1/30 showing 776 and you need to change in Amsterdam.
@Neil Torczyner:
Read the post please.
Lol Sry my bad. January that is
1/18-1/25 not working
I bought a ticket on Delta last week for dates that are valid for this sale (Jan 16-30) and I payed $870. Any way to get them to refund the difference? (I used Chase Sapphire points to pay for most of it)
@David:
@anonymous:
January 17 and 18 outbound have sold out.
Try 16 or 19.
@Mike:
No.
@dan 19 is thursday you get into TLV 4:20 PM on friday and 16 is too early to leave for yeshiva break thanks though
Why cant we get any good cyber deals for Shavuos time end of May?
@Eli G:
They don’t discount flights that far in advance.
And winter prices are always lower than summer prices.
Royal Jordanian (One world partner) is having a sale DTW to Tel Aviv for $562. Valid for travel from mid-January, 2017 – early-May, 2017. Must purchase at least 1 day in advance of departure and by November 28th, 2016 — TODAY!
Find flights on flights.google.com
Note the Jan 12 departing NYC to TLV arrives 4:15pm Friday
@Morris Grun:
It’s only a sample.
I booked on El Al yesterday. what is the cancellation policy with El Al. Is it worth it to cancel El Al and fly with Delat?
@pretzle:
If you booked on Priceline (as I always recommend) then you can cancel until 11:29pm tonight.
And Delta is a much better airline than El Al.
Booked yesterday through chase reserve with El Al do they have a cancelation policy?
@chaim:
Call and ask.
1/15-1/25 not working
any way to book on delta with delta amex points ? or is this just chase sapphire points ?
I have 30,000 miles from my Gold Delta Skymiles card.
Would the flight still cost 50000 miles? When i try booking through skymiles, it costs 120000 miles. Not sure what im doing wrong.
Thanks!
thanks but I think the day I got would be 20 dollars cheaper with el al each ticket
@Julian: yes im wondering the same
No.
It’s only for AMEX or Chase points, not for Delta miles.
United also matching!
Do El Al and Delta have the same baggage allowance?
Dan. Thx for info. What if you only need a one way flight? Can one book a round trip fare and just not use one leg of flight? Thx
I am doing janurary 25th to February 6 and came out to 911 round trip??
can I transfer UR points into Delta and use it to book?
What is Amex cancellation policy if you book through AmexTravel?
Booked for a trip in March on Delta. Thanks Dan!
Are there any discounted fares on business class tickets to Israel from NYC?
Does this sale count towards pesach and business class tickets?
can i book with delta directly
Dan, thanks as always for your exceptionally informative posts. Reading through these response comments, I only have one thing to add – you have the patience of a saint.
Get an additional $60 off from Amex:
American Express has an offer one can add to their Amex Card: $60 statement credit for Delta Airlines purchases.
Get a 1X $60 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a total of $300+ with Delta Air Lines by 1/2/2017. Flight must originate in the US/US Territory. Purchase must be in USD. See terms for full exclusions.
Ok I’m looking on my chase reserve rewards page at JFK to TLV 2/21 – 3/8 (I believe those are dates listed) and the best price I see is 49.9K points, what am I doing wrong?
@sarstuff:
That’s exactly the right price, read the post again.
@Dan: I saw that, I guess I’m just wondering where the 37.4K points tickets are, thanks.
@sarstuff:
The post says that as well.
@Dan: My bad, only focusing on Chase! Thanks for the reply. We need a Dans Deals seminar in PGH – what about it?
Is this special good for LAg beomer? Mid May?
I would like to book a flight from STL Mo to tel aviv anyday except shabbat for march and return 2 months later in May. Preferably no stop or only one and very reasonably cheap. Can you help?
