Update 3: DEAD!
——————————————————————
Update 2: This can work from NYC as well. Just book a one-way ticket nonstop flight to Chicago on American for 7,500 British Airways Avios.
For example a flight from Chicago to Tel Aviv for a long Pesach from 04/01-04/29 is $537 on Orbitz.
That flight goes from Chicago to Tel Aviv via Philadelphia. You can’t miss the Chicago to Philly outbound segment but you can fly Tel Aviva-Philadelphia nonstop and miss the Philadelphia to Chicago return segment. All bags must be claimed in Philly.
Or you can book a multi-city trip, just search for leg 1 from NYC to Chicago on 04/01, leg 2 from Chicago to Tel Aviv on 04/01 and leg 3 from Tel Aviv to Chicago on 04/29. The total will be $633.
Same story to go to Tel Aviv for Lag B’omer from 05/07 to 05/22. Search for leg 1 from NYC to Chicago on 05/07, leg 2 from Chicago to Tel Aviv on 05/07 and leg 3 from Tel Aviv to Chicago on 05/22. The price will show $749 but drop to $633 after selecting flights. Or just use 7,500 Avios to get to Chicago and book the $537 flight from Chicago (price drops only after selecting flights)
———————————————–
Update: This works from Chicago, Dallas, and Miami. Select an American flight and watch the price drop!
If you want a long Pesach trip you can go from 04/01-04/29 from Chicago for $537 or from Dallas or Miami for $641
———————————————–
Bookable on Orbitz. Orbitz tickets are refundable until 10pm CT the day after purchase.
I searched for a flight from Chicago to Tel Aviv from 03/16-03/24, 03/17-03/24, and from 03/18-03/24 and a flight sold by American and operated by USAirways came up from just $628.32.
However after selecting the flight the price drops to just $506.32!
Some other dates that I found insane deals on: 05/04-05/12 or 05/07-05/15: $537
Other dates like 05/04-05/22 or 05/07-05/22 (Lag B’omer) drop in price to $537 after selecting the flights.
More to come. Post a comment if you find other valid dates or departure cities!
I’m sure there are more valid dates and departure cities so start sleuthing!

Searchable on ITA?
Its listing at $506 without even clicking the $628 fare
got from Houston (KLM and one stop @ AMS) for +-$740
Looks like prices drop any time you select an American flight. Did from nyc-tlv. So i guess the key is find an already cheap american flight so it gets cheaper
if when u travel from NYC can u take the second leg?
Got 2 tickets!! Thanks Dan!!!
Does it actually ticket? Many reports that it does not, just errors out.
Looking for Pesach NYC to Sao Paulo – Brazil. I couldn’t find in Orbitz. Pls in case someone find pls post here. Thanks!
DEAD. It’s back to the $628 which isn’t a bad deal but if you’re in the NY area you can go on Turkish for $700 from NY.
MIA-TLV for $642!

Dan rocks

@Kidooo: how do i search multi city for this?
@myccrabbi – you can get KLM for $799 from NY with just one stop though.
I need for Jun some one found?
Any way to get this for a one way from YYZ?
DAN – you just tweeted $633 r/t from NYC-TLV for Pesach! Where can you fond that fare. I searched Orbitz didnt see it. Thanks!
Anything for August?
booked tickets from 8-24 to 9/2 $899 a ticket from Miami to tel aviv. we saw tickets today for $1500 a ticket – thank you so much
I booked today already my ticket thru M&S Travel, Gr8 Service, I paid for my ticket for Lag Ba’omer 899.00 with turkish,
when I would’ve wait……..
Dead
FWIW, I found LGA-GSO-PHL-TLV-PHL-BOS-JFK and similar routings for $667 on Kayak. http://www.kayak.com/flights/NYC-TLV/2014-12-13/2014-12-22
Not bookable on Kayak, but you may find a way to make it work on a diff OTA with better routings.
Dan is not your personal travel agent peeps. Stop asking for stupid dates and prices, see for yourselves:”I need this,I need that”or”it’s not working by me, anyone can help”?!
#lostintheweb

$537.32
Dead atleast from Chicago 🙁
@Dovi1:
@Dovi2:
SPAM isn’t kosher.
@Dovi: You have 24 hours to cancel. Call them first thing in the morning. Book now on this deal you can always cancel through orbitz tomorrow.
@Blah: Are you sure it’s dead? It’s only valid certain random dates. Try Dan’s example.
@isaac: Just book 4 people on 1 itinery and 2 on the other. Just include 1 adult on each booking so you don’t run into unaccompanied minor issues. Use 2 sep browsers at the time. If it doesn’t work for both you can cancel the ticket with orbitz.
still working for aug – not as good, but still solid ($769)
@Dan’s the man: sorry 4 not being clear the 2 & 4 children i meant was additional to 2 adults. and the 6 tickets i am looking for is 2 adults and 4 children from 6/30. all can be booked at once .the prices are not great for 6/30
Dan – we already had 1 way tickets from NYC to Tel Aviv for erev pessach. Can we book the chicago-tel aviv roundtrip but only fly the return flight from Tel Aviv to Philly? $538 is still a great price to fly one way non stop back home after pessach.
@Malka: As soon as you miss any leg they cancel the rest of the ticket.
I live in CT and I just saw $476 roundtrip from BDL to MAD. There are two layovers in Chicago and Philadelphia until finally the non-stop flight from PHL to MAD. It’s a longer travel time but that’s a steal.
@Malka: NO, if you don’t take the outbound your ticket will cancel out.
@Malka: No you can’t do that. If you don’t fly the first portion of your flight the return portion will be cancelled.
Got one ticket at 543. Now it’s up to 653, when I tried to book another ticket, same itinerary.
@Josh where did you find August for that price?
Lots of fares available from ORD to Europe starting @ $406. Rt
“Find more cheap travel dates: Read about using ITA Software to use their awesome month-long calendar search to help find dates with cheap flights.”
(quote from dan by other airline price mistakes)
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/24628
this worked for me for this deal
there are still many dates for 507-538
Madrid $406, Paris 432, brussels $503, rome $542,Barcelona $560. London $562
The cheapest fares are found in March with a min. 10 day stay.
If I book from NYC to Chicago then tlv The way back from tlv to Chicago goes throw ny first? Or I must add ny??
@kingsfan3344: are the tickets still available?
DEAD!
And I hesitated too long.
Just let go of 6 tix from ORD to TLV from Mar 16 and 17 for a week. Good luck getting them…
I am looking for good rates from israel to nyc. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thx in advance.
dan – can you tell us how this works with baggage if we are using Avios to get from NYC to ORD to start the flight? Free checeked bags on the intl flight, but we are going to have to pay to get bags from NYC to ORD?
@Yossef
The example flight that Dan posted connects in Philadelphia. So you would fly NYC-ORD-PHL-TLV-PHL then make your way home from there.
Dan —
Thank you!
We got $628 Chicago-TLV March 24-May 19 for my wife.
We saw nothing better than $1,100 for me April 8 – May 5 for me.
Question: We already had gotten United economy mileage tickets for the same dates. What should we do about my wife’s mileage ticket? Can we cancel for now without rebooking and paying a rebooking fee until we decide when the next trip will be?
still working?
looking for a flight NYC-TLV 5/15-16 though 5/19 but nothing less than 900$ is coming up. anything cheaper out there?

Hi Dan
