Air Europa, a SkyTeam carrier, has $641 fares from NYC to Tel Aviv on select dates in August-October and $565 fares on select dates in October-December.
The catch is that there is a 22 hour connection in Madrid on the outbound flight. Perfect if you like exploring a new city for a day, not great if you just want to get to your destination. The flight samples below have 2-4 hour connection on the return leg.
1 carry-on and 1 checked bag is free, additional checked bags can be purchases for $60 each way online.
In order to view the flights you’ll have to search JFK-TLV, click on advanced options, and select Air Europa.

Dan: what’s your take on leaving/arriving from different airports? Some hidden city tickets that are cheaper, require leaving from BWI and arriving in EWR. tks
would it work from tel to nyc w stop in spain for a few days?
I dont mind the different airports, where can i opt to book with my Chase Sapphire Reserve points?
Send us some more examples even with long layovers.
@Yaakov: What’s the problem, rent a car to get back to your original destination airportairport. It just has to be cost effective.
Why wouldn’t this work with Biz PLat hybrid points?
8/23-9/4 is $786 now
@moshewoodmere Because you would have to have designated them as your “airfare credit” airline to get the 50% points returned (and you probably do not have Air Europa as your favorite airline.)
can you use chase ink orchase sapphire also?
chase is telling me its 42k points not 37k. how do i get it for 37k?
I am on the Chase sapphire reserve ultimate rewards portal searching for flights and Air Europa is not showing up with flight options at all. Why is that? Where do I need to be to find these flights? thanks.
I wouldn’t do it. My flight to Madrid tonight is delayed, thereby missing my connection to Mallorca. AirEuropa refused to book on another carrier. Sky team means nothing with them. Neither does weather delays, which they claim this flight is due to.
Dan, I’m trying to book the JFK flight on Air Europa to Tel Aviv for late August but when I go through Orbitz the fee is $785 instead of $641. Is that the new price or is there something I can do?
is there a option for direct?
I got SFO-TLV for $650. 7/18- 8/14
With Turkish
i’ve seen $1770 in BIZ recently
