i went to find this but no one has this price..what am i missing?
Should I assume such a deal will come out eventually for July?
Can someone who knows these things please let me know?
Thanks a million!
What are the dates for this ticket?
can it b upgraded to first class ?
looking to fly to tel aviv on may 23 return june 6. for 5 passenger
from new nyc.
How much would it cost to change the dates once purchased?
Is there anyway to make it a open ticket?
The open ticket is considered a special. I doubt you can combine it with this special.
@Travel Agent: is there a way to book a open ticket online?
nothing for pesach? on march i need to bring home my son from israel for pesach
DATES ARE AFTER PESSACH, CANT GET A PESSACH TICKET..
Since I almost never fly anywhere, I currently use the Costco Amex with cash back (and Chase Freedom) instead of cards with miles. However, as I have never been to Israel, I am considering going with my wife using this deal. Is there any credit card I should specifically sign up for and use to maximize my rewards? Is it worth it considering that I will probably not fly anywhere for years after this? Dan probably has a post about this already somewhere. If you can point me to it, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
@gadi mimoun: why?
please I need a ticket for pessach to bring my son home?
dan!keep me up-dated on this.
Hoping to get a family of 8 to Israel for the summer from Cleveland. S it true that its cheaper if you stopover in Turkey? Should we fly via Chicago/ NYC? Any advice welcomed!
How about from 5/26/13 till 6/2/13
@DAN if purchased in this class, can one upgrade to business with points?
@Steveo (one word):
yes, but usually not worth it. very expensive, alot of poiunts and also money
@Anonymous:
what are your dates?
@abe:
it’s only from NYC not from TLV
@Chaim:
July is high season, there may be a special but no where close to this
Can u add the 10% coupon codes to these fares?
not attractive enough, waiting for a better winter deal. (or pessach deal).
dont mind a stop over. will wait for a deal in the $500-550 range.
Can this deal be used to book a ticket sometime in September?
Hey Dan, you always come up with lots savvy advice on how to get the max out of points.
I have lots of avios and would like to go to TelAviv in April, but with a two day stop in Brussels on the way and a two day stop in London on the way back. Any thoughts how to work this and avoid the crazy London taxes would be appreciated.
