Fly Between North America And Anywhere In Europe, Israel, Or Russia For Just 20,000 Starpoints In Coach Or 40,000 Starpoints In Business!!!!

There is a four hundred dollar fee for taxes flying with Air France or KLM to Israel. On American the cost is seventy dollars. It may not be the best bargain.
How can I transfer my starpoints as quickly as possible?

can you transfer delta or other sky team member points into flyblue points?

@HG:
When I checked in May Air France wanted $230 in taxes/fees to Israel, you may want to recheck those numbers now to see what the current number is.

@yak:
No.

Dan – I have American Advantage points. Is there anything I can do with them??

The 25,000 roundtrip to TLV is a web special and when I called the 800 number, they said that they can not give me availability for web specials. So unless you have 25,000 miles in the account, there’s no way to find out what your options are.

Can I transfer Starwood point to Delta on a 1:1 ratio and then use the mileage to fly on Continental? Instead of transferring directly to Continental for a 2:1 ratio

@BG:
50,000 AA transfers into 100,000 Hilton.
100,000 Hilton transfers into 10,000 Flying Blue.

Its generally never worthwhile to transfer miles from one airline to another.

@Jo:
The regular award availability over the phone should be the same as online.

@Mendel:
Sure, but you’ll be subject to Delta’s rates. You may be better off with transferring to another Skyteam program, like Alitalia or Flying Blue.
Also be aware that Continental is leaving Skyteam in October for Star.

thanks Dan for your quick reply. I’ve only seen you post deals on starwood points. Since most of my points are advantage – can you help me on this? Thanks.

How long does it take for the Starwood Points to transfer to Flying Blue? There are only ten days left on this promotion.

I appreciate you telling us about this offer….but can you tell us step by step how to go about getting it? I have the available mileage for 2 biz class tickets to Israel…and I would like to ‘chap arein’. thanks

@BG:
That’s because Starwood points have literally millions of uses and there are always new deals to be found.

AA miles are straightforward, they can be used on AA or a partner. What kind of help do you need?

@Mike:
Starwood typically posts mileage transfer once per week, if anyone knows what day they post to Flying Blue please post a comment!

Also although the current promo must be booked by 06/21 for KLM, the promo has been around for some time now, I’m sure it will continue to be offered.

i just called them up and on a millage flight from ORD-TLV the taxes would run b/w 300-400 a ticket

does anyone have a 20% code (that they are not using) that vigin america sent out yesterday for elevate members, please please email to maxpinson@hotmail.com thanks

Dan – I’m new to the mileage thing. I have 120k Advantage miles and it’s a pity that they are just sitting. How can I use them to get my family to Israel?
BTW – are you interested in help when it comes to finding deals??

by deals – I mean like the 7.99 Lands End white shirt or cheap grocery deals

hey Dan thanx for all your help. I tried a bunch of dates , but nothing seems to be available. Is there something I should be doing?

Dan – Six Flags tickets twitter today until 4 pm – $10.00

I have 25000 flying blue points. If someone wants to use them for a res, rather than waiting for a transfer to post, I will sell them for starpoints or cash. abish1@hotmail.com

From a wiki on http://www.flyerguide.com/wiki/index.php/Starwood_Preferred_Guest_Award_Redemption

How long it takes

Hotel awards are instant, no certificate is required. Merchandise certificates will be processed within 2-4 weeks. Allow 2-4 weeks for miles to be posted to frequent flyer accounts.

[edit]Expedited Award Delivery

Rush transfer of points to American Airlines AAdvantage, United Airlines Mileage Plus, or British Airways Executive Club. SPG will expedite Starpoint transfers to these airline partners only. They require approval by an SPG supervisor, can take from 3-5 business days, and are only offered to members with severe time constraints. The cost is 3,500 Starpoints.

Dan how do you know the points will transfer to flying blue by the 21st. Starwoods website says Please note that airline transfer awards may require 2-4 weeks handling and processing time for U.S. carriers and 4-6 weeks handling and processing time for non-U.S. carriers.
This would be a great deal for me since I plan on going back to the US and I now have 20,000 Starwoods points which would be enough for two one way ticket on KLM. I don’s want to put in the transfer and then miss the deal. Thanks for the help.

dan! did i read right?? 30000 points for starwood for the first 15000 you spend? are those bonus points besides for the “one point per dollar spent”?? is that a new offer??

The posting makes it sound as if there is availability between now and 10/31, but this isn’t the case for every city. For example, NYC and LA can be booked now, but travel is only b/w 9/1 and 10/31.

@Mike:
I’ve had SPG points transfer in 3 days in the past. Obviously there is no guarantee that it will transfer on time though.

@shimon:
No, that’s counting the point per dollar spent. After you spend $15K on the card your balance will be 40,000 Starpoints.

@Jo:
Seems like they must have just changed the chart, or I totally missed that. Thanks for the update.

Hi. I have about 15k-16k starpoints, and 10k points from my gold charge card. can I use these to get to israel, and if so, how?
thanx

What happens if you book & fly there before 10/31, but for the return trip you want to change the flight. How much do changes cost? Do they cost? Will that work to change my return to next summer?

hey with this promo will it work with any of the skyteam members just that it needs to be done through flyingblue?
or is it strictly a flyingblue promo and no other partner points allowed ????

If anyone is having trouble with the transfer going through, do the transfer online or over the phone, and then call up and ask them to place the “B0” code (Bee Zero) on the account along with a note that you need the points transferred immediately. This will cause it to be seen by the research dept almost immediately (usually within 24 hours) and they should be able to push the point transfer through right away. DO NOT RELY ON THIS THOUGH – I take no responsibility if it does not work.

I transferred 20,000 starwoods points to Flying Blue on Friday and they are in the account this morning. The problem is there is no availability at all our of TLV to the US for one way tickets or round trips. I was able to find 12,500 one ways out of Europe. Is there anything that I can do to book a ticket out of TLV. Will calling them on the phone work.
Thank You

anyone want to sell me 2 tix to israel (coach) for the first week of july?

I have searched many dates and cant find anything available from the JFK to TLV on any day. Does any one know of any availabilities?

Has anyone actually made a reservation on KLM or Air France? If yes can you tell me what the taxes and fees were? Thanks so much.

Just a report, I transfered 20,000 Starwoods points to Flying Blue a week ago Friday. The points were in the Flying Blue account by Tuesday morning. However no availability was showing out of TLV at all which was obviously a computer glitch because the promotion was showing out of most European destinations. I finally called Flying Blue on Friday the last business day before Sunday’s deadline and the only solution they would offer me is to fax them my screenshot. They called back today and allowed me to book two one-way from TLV-ORD for Oct 19 for 12,500 points each. The taxes and fees were a little high at $368.25 for each ticket, but it was a lot less then what one-way are going for right now.

@Mike:
$368.25 for a one-way ticket??? That has to be a mistake!

@Mike: I think you got ripped off big time. Even if that is the total amount, in my opinion 20k starwood and $370 is a good but not great deal for an Israel ticket.

Is there anyway this promotion is still going on? Dan How much would you charge to book a flying blue ticket for me?
