Update: DEAD! Don’t miss it if this becomes alive again. Sign up for deal notification alerts here!
Delta has released some nonstop saver economy award space between JFK and Tel Aviv for January and February flights to their partner airlines, which is usually hard to come by.
It’s worth noting that Delta has canceled flights to Israel through January 5th, so these flights might not operate. In that case, you would get your points back, but your points would then be with Virgin and wouldn’t be returned to the bank.
Virgin has an awesome beta award calendar here that makes it easy to find dates with award space by manipulating the URL. It tells you exactly how many seats are available in each class on every date. And no, there’s no space in any class but coach.
JFK to/from Tel Aviv flights cost 35K Virgin Atlantic points, 40K Air France Flying Blue miles, or 80K Delta miles each way.
There are no fuel surcharges for these flights.
You can get a 30% bonus for mileage transfers from Chase to Virgin Atlantic through 11/15, so 27K Chase points would turn into 35,100 Virgin Atlantic points
JFK to Tel Aviv valid dates:
January 12, 25, 26, 27
February 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 11, 12, 18, 21, 23, 28
Tel Aviv to JFK valid dates:
January 13, 16, 18, 23, 26
February 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 15, 20
