Air France Flying Blue Award Search (Login required to search for award flights)
Flying Blue is the joint program of SkyTeam member Air France and KLM.
They consider Tel Aviv to be part of Europe which can make for some decent deals.
Flying Blue does charge fuel surcharges on their own flights but not on Delta flights. However availability is much better on their own flights than on Delta flights. When there is Delta availability though it’s significantly cheaper to book the Delta flights with Flying Blue miles than with Delta Skypesos.
-They normally charge 25,000 miles each way in coach and 62,500 miles each way in business to Israel but they run rotating promo awards valid for select cities.
-Promo awards are only valid on Air France or KLM.
-Travel is valid in either direction and is valid for one-way or round-trip travel.
-You need to book the current promo awards by 02/28.

is the Washington DC-Tel Aviv non stop?
Can you please be a bit more clear with the pricing? So it would be 24k r/t, and how much in taxes? $94.78? or $189.56?
LC why don’t you take your lazy fingers and go look for yourself…lazy @$$
No HT?
@flying: no

Nope!
@flying: @LC ; Raboisay, the information you seek is free @Flying Blue.com. It is not derech eretz to ask Dan to do your work.
Can I use my flying blue points to book a ticket for my sister? Or does the name need to match?
@Joe – basic program information is available on the Flying Blue web site. As Anonymous says, please do not bother Dan with basic information questions as opposed to questions about tactics to get the most out of the FF programs.
Thank you for the head’s up Dan and that’s what I have to contribute.
