Using Chase points:

You don’t have to stay in Zurich for 7 days. Spend a day or 2 and travel by train to…xxx. You can also fly from Zurich using your airline miles or Avios points to go to … xxx. You must fly home from Zurich.
@Anonymous: yes. There are a few kosher restaurants. And if you’re asking if there’s anything to do there, you’re obviously being silly.
Dan, if i buy with chase SR hybrid points, what happens if i cancel the ticket later on
Dan this is a fantastic Deal.
did 8 ticket for the family and did it with AMEX pay with points so I received back the 50% El-Al flight on Swiss what is a very good connection for around $330 per seat. so the flight to Israel for Shavuot cost me 17k AMEX points and 330 per seat.
Thanks Dan
the delta is basic economy fare?
Hopefully we’ll have some deals to TLV soon !!!
@dans fan:
which airline? in any case could that be booked with chase points as well?
Is this deal available for august?
