Can this be booked through the Sapphire Reserve Portal?
It seems like only Priceline has it for $635. Other sites are about $42 more.
And that’s exactly why i think we need a different way to calculate points. When you say Chase UR points are worth at least 1.5c, it’s not completely accurate if there are certain bookings you can’t get for that price. in this case UR points are worth 1.4c / per point.
Prices are typically the same, this is an exception.
is this the new, new?
crazy competition to TLV? Every week there’s a new crazy deal!
More competition is always a good thing for consumers.
Mergers are always a bad thing for consumers.
It’s great to see more carriers flying into TLV. Hopefully the prices will trend downwards.
C’mon AA, time to get back in on the fun 🙂
not nonstop unfortunately
Only US or Israeli carriers can fly nonstop.
Will this earn Delta MQM’s?
Yes, I’ve added this to the post.
Thank you!!!
hi dan is it possible to control how long the layover or stop should be? and is there any good business class deals tnx really appreciated
Sure, click on multi-destination.
For example I searched for this:
And got this result:
Nice.
how do i book a ticket for a lap infant using priceline? when i go to book, a pop up comes up stating that priceline does not support infant tickets
@Dan please advise
At this price, please consider buying your infant a seat.
It’s much safer to have a carseat and it will mean you don’t have to hold your child for 4 long flights.
Otherwise, try using Orbitz, though the price will be higher: https://www.dansdeals.com/go/Orbitz3/
im a cheapo:-)
Uasly from my experience with KLM and erupe company he bring u a basket to put the kids and u seat at the first line. I do few flights and he was fantastic
call airline to book afterwards. You can request a bassinet, which, while techinally not as safe, does alleviate the need to hold for hours
can we stop in london for a full day or even more then that?
Yes, see comments above.
I know you said it earns Delta MQMs, but is this really true, everyone writes that you didn’t actually write that
Read the post?
I was being tongue in cheek
That’s why G-d invented emojis 😉
is there only with 5 hour stop overs?
I dont see Virgin as an option in the airline list using priceline
It comes up when I search the dates listed in this post.
would I be able to stay a shabbos in London for this price?
It will be slightly higher. See comments above.
How long of a stopover do I need to be to tour some parts of London?
Depends what you want to see.
With 8 hours you can hit up some of the tourist sites.
See the London Master Thread: https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=141.0
8 hours is including getting in and out of the airport?
Again, it depends on how many things you want to see. Please post in the London Master Thread for specific recommendations and time required.
I have done it. You take the tube and it is quite efficient if you know where you are going it is possible…
grate dates for lag bomer
you mean grate dates for tu b’shvat 🙂
Can flights originate from TLV?
א. המחיר מתל אביב גבוה יותר (666 דולר)
ב. המחיר מתל אביב לא כולל מזוודות
what is the policy to change the ticket if need be?
Dan ,pls pls find me cheap dates in middle of August must get there ASAP for a cheap price. Thank you for all you do to help klal yisrael
Flattery will get you everywhere, except to Israel….
Is there any 1 way deals?
Dan, hows their premium economy product?
Thanks
Are these fares upgradeable?
How do I book for an unborn child?
You can’t do a temurah
Make the first name Infant and call after the child is born.
None are available for less then 6h stop on the outbound ?
careful folks. To get the $635 deal you have to go either Thursday- Thursday or Friday – Friday which means you’ll either arrive or be traveling on Shabbos
False.
looks to me like it’s true
Dates please.
Anyone seeing the cheaper return flights ?
I see many flights outbound for 300+ but all return flights are 600+ which would make the fare $1,000 +, and I guess the deal is dead
Please post what dates you are referring to.
Hi Dan. If I choose random dates how much will it be to change the dates going forward? My son is likely drafting in march but I won’t know the exact dates till we are closer. Thank you!
Miriam
Can this be upgraded to business class?
Sat night Feb 29 – Sun April 8 $964 is least expensive no $635 RT1
Where does it say that those are valid dates?
my mistake. I saw the Feb, entire month, but missed that April return date is not included. thnx
“Now we have a great sale from NYC to Tel Aviv via London.”
Is this sponsored content?
No, it’s typo content. Fixed now, thanks.
Sponsored content would be labeled as such.
August 29 is available
i was able to book first class for miles thru Virgin for 170k Delta Sky Miles, in November. Couldnt find anything cheaper
From my experience with this company the seat was extra space from ost the company I know and few times even I gut 5 seat empty next to me.. I was sleeping so good and relaxing 🙂 best customer service..
Hey Dan,
Any idea how to book another ticket for the same days but different times? I am not yet certain which time of day works best, but Priceline seems to block me from purchasing another ticket by stating that there is already a reservation for the same passenger at a similar time. I cannot seem to get around it! Any ideas?
Also, did you choose the 10:00 PM flight because its the 787?
Thanks!
Use your wife’s email and phone number book again then cancel the first…
It has happened to me many times. When Priceline gives you that message, just click the button to go back and try to buy them again. Priceline should let it through the 2nd time you try.
Tried that several times, to no avail.
Hi Dan
If I book a flight and need to change the dates, do you know what the monetary penalty might be? My son is possibly drafting in March but the dates are still unknown. Thank you!
Miriam
can i get this fare( or when i book to israel on virgin atlantic with a small connection in tlv) for the same price? esterdays screenshot showed the price would be more then what you posted it at. everybody knows about booking multicity tickets im talking about this virgin fare can you get the same price jfk to tlv with a small stopover in london as if you would book jfk to tlv with a long stopover like 12 hours sorry for the harsh words i would just book this fare if i can get to london and stay there before heading to israel
what if i dont want a stop over can i get direct from jfk to isreal?
Anything from Miami?
FYI Dan, I believe this does NOT require a Saturday night stay in Israel. I booked a sat night flight from jfk and coming back 2 days later. got $635 price
I was able to find separate flights, not combined in 1 booking for $555 RT
Dates 1/21/20-1/28/20 ( many other dates also the same)
Flying NYC to MAD with Iberia, and MAD to TLV with Elal.
Anyway to get these combined in one reservation?
Hi dan,
Is this a safe trip ? Through Kiev?
Its through LONDON, in ENGLAND.
As safe as Brexit lets it be… i.e. like any airport in the US,
(maybe safer, they have way less guns running around)
I’m having trouble finding this fair from NY JFK or Newark to Tel Aviv. Can you please assist? Thank you
A free checked bag, carry-on bag, and seat assignments are included, as noted above. Yet when I made the reservation it said:
New York City → London
Assigned at check-in
9327306666174
Virgin Atlantic Flight 453
Tel Aviv → London
Assigned at check-in
9327306666174
Virgin Atlantic Flight 454
London → New York City
Assigned at check-in
9327306666174

Please advise what to do.
