Comparison Chart: Redeeming For El Al Flights With Qantas Points Versus El Al Matmid Points

Can you use Quanta for first class on Elal?

This assumes you prefer El Al.
United and AA both seem to have direct flights for 80k

can i credit miles flown on paid elal flight to qantas?

As always, thanks !
Now only need to figure out the million dollar question, how to earn Citi point fast ! 😉

Elal has a promo now where it’s 72500 for a non executive member from NYC.

What about flights to Paris?

Hmmm…I see a special fare of 700 Matmid points +$220CAD from YYZ for random Dec. dates.
Using the 50X calculation shouldn’t that be 35,000?

This may

The table does not take into account the many times that Elal is offering promotional rates during off peak seasons. For exapmle, Toronto and Boston are half price now, 35k or 700 Matmid roundtrip.

Dan what is the best way to redeem business class from NYC to London non stop without real fuel charges ?

Can someone point me to where on the site (cant find it) they have the promo’s listed?

Hi dan if im understanding correctly is the bottom line executive status is olny worth for economy and premium economy and the executive status olny hurts you for business according to your chart
Pls correct me if I’m wrong tnx

84K miles on Qantas fro Economy RT is still a lot to my opinion
i value points to be at least 1.2 cents/mile so that’s at least a $1000 RT …
not such a great value honestly

Dan: ״El Al does have good award availability to Israel״??? Misinformation!
Almost nothing on J For the next few months…

Thanks for this, Dan. I’m trying to redeem a classic award and I have enough Marriott points. But I’m seeing online that it takes six days (!) for the transfer to go through. Any tips to avoid transferring and then losing the availability???

qantas dont book miami tlv online and making a very hard time over the phone to book it. they say that officially the route is blocked

Just applied and got approved for the Citi Premier (with DD link!). Thanks Dan.

Wanna use ur link… just fyi, the RED part isn’t linked to your offer. I thought it normally is.

Thanks Dan for the great post, as usually.

I have spoken to qantas reps many times
A few qantas reps told me that you can’t book the miami-tlv route using qantas points.
how can you book el al first if your lucky qantas doesn’t have access to it?

Any way to filter the search to only show direct (Elal)flights?

What are the change or cancellation fees for Qantas/Elal awards?

EL AL as a rule doesn’t like to be undercut by ANY type of deal or “discount”.They keep an eye on dansdeals posts and other websites for any glitches more than anyone else. Keeping the Qantas discounted award value quiet would have been a good idea. El Al flights are one of the only airlines that Qantas doesn’t charge mega fuel charges for. I won’t be surprised if Qantas will be forced by EL AL to raises fuel charges like JAL did with Emirates.

Tlv – yyz cheaper summer time in business than premium???!!!

yes

for 787 biz its AWESOME

whats the taxes per segment on elal booked via qantas

Dan, did you ever find out if it was possible to book elal business class from the U.S. with aeromexico miles (which is an Amex transfer partner)?

Qantas keeps telling me that taxes and fees are $232 one way and $457 round trip (plus 42,000 points one way or 84,000 rt). Is there something I’m missing? I can’t continue checking out on the website because I don’t have the points transferred yet, but that is the information they are giving me on the phone.

Does capital one business miles transfer to qantas?

The quantis rates seem really good ! Do they have descent availablity , can it be booked online?
