Wednesday, I wrote about a Delta award I want to book to enjoy a cheap one way trip. I want to price LAX to Sao Paulo roundtrip with a prior oneway from Seoul to LAX, all in business class, all on direct Korean Air flights for 130k SkyMiles.

Delta wants to charge 220k miles.

Happy New Year From Istanbul!

Forum Buzz: Under $650 Roundtrip to Israel

Chicago to Tel Aviv for under $650

According to this thread in the Mileage Run Forum of FlyerTalk, Delta Airlines is offering fares under $650 for roundtrip flights from Chicago to Tel Aviv, connecting at New York-JFK.

It's important to note that these low fares require a connection in JFK. Trying to book only the JFK <-> Tel Aviv roundtrip would be about $280 more expensive!

I'm seeing good availability in January and February.
