Using points:

These fares are not on sale with airline miles, but you can pay for the ticket with “hybrid points” such as AMEX or Chase points with a card that allows your points to be used at an increased value for airfare in addition to be able to transfer points into airline miles.

Using Chase Points:

If you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card you can redeem points for 1.5 cents each towards travel. If you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Ink Preferred you can redeem points for 1.25 cents each towards travel.

You can login to your account and redeem Chase points for travel here. The cost will be 46,256 points round-trip with a Sapphire Reserve. That rate include all taxes and you will still earn flight miles as well!

 

Using AMEX points:

You can login to your account and redeem AMEX points for travel here.

This is bookable for 69,384 AMEX points. Plus you’ll get back a rebate of 24,284 points with the Business Platinum Card or 17,346 points with the Business Gold Card, dropping the total needed to as low as 45,100 points. That includes all taxes and you can still earn miles for flying!

    is there an option tlv to nyc?

  2. Ralph

    Put in 1 seat from Aug 20-24th and nothing it’s very expensive

    • Dan

      A Saturday night stay in Israel is required.

  3. EH

    Can I cancel flights booked on points?

    • Dan

      You should have 24 hours to cancel.

  4. tret

    tried Sep 11 – sep 30 not working, on Priceline

    • Dan

      Yes it does.
      “Always search for 1 seat and then work the search up to the number of seats you need in order to book as many seats on sale as you can.”

  5. Anon

    Can you fly business on this deal

      • Ephraim

        Yes, but with a copay, plus points, plus the very unlikely chance of a miracle occurring that you clear the waitlist ahead of all the other elites that will be ahead of you on said waitlist.

  6. Jojo

    What’s hybrid points? Booked through my chase ink business paid 277k for 4tickets

    • HY

      Hybrid is Chase, Amex, etc. Meaning transferable to a lot of airlines

    • Dan

      The post explains which cards give you an increased value for your points when redeeming for paid airfare. Those are hybrid points as you can choose between that or transferring points into airline miles.

  7. Kenny

    Can you use United explorer mileageplus points?

  8. HY

    Can i book this with United points?

  9. isaac

    hey dan

    not working from aug 18 to 24

    • Dan

      Read the post…
      “A Saturday night stay in Israel is required.”

  10. Tony

    Just booked from jan 19-feb 2.. I paid $1 of the trip on my reserve.. Should I have paid $1 on the united card or did i do the smart move?

    TIA!!

    • Dan

      You get CSR benefits using all points as well.
      You don’t get UA card benefits when using partial Chase points.

  11. q

    24 hours to cancel on lufthansa website?

      • q

        are your saying lufthansa doesnt toffer 24 hours to cancel? it was a few dollars cheaper to book on lufthansha instead of priceline

  12. Woman

    Not working! Worked a minute ago

    • Dan

      Try another flight or date. There are limited seats on sale for each flight.

  13. Ari

    It went nicely, but after selecting “book” they showed that “we are unable to book the flight you selected”

    • Dan

      Try another flight or date. There are limited seats on sale for each flight.

  14. sh

    A pity. I already booked for $1200 with elal and quantas.

  15. Abe

    What about from Dulles to TLV?

    • qsman

      Just checked that, no. And they only fly 3x week….gib a kik dorten

  16. Tony

    Ah just noticed Super Bowl is feb 2 so the game will start an hour within takeoff. Is there a way to watch on the flight for UA?

    • Dan

      There is internet for sale. YMMV on how fast it will be.

  17. Dave

    How long do you have to cancel? When are these expected to sell out?

    • Dan

      Read the post.
      Flights are already selling out.

      • qsman

        Dan,

        You should start putting your hyperlinks for the Flight Feeding Frenzys (in honor of Shark Week) at the bottom of your posts which requires people to actually READ it and minimize klutz kashes.

  18. HY

    I tried August 7th to 11 and nowhere near that price

    • Dan

      August 7th and 8th are already sold out. Gotta be quick when I write hurry 😀

  19. ralph cohen

    Augusut 17th to 23rd for some reason is not working. Can you please advise as to why?

  20. Eli

    Can I pay partially with amex points and partially $ (I don’t have enough points for full purchase)?

  21. Mendy

    Dan can you please find any deals originating in israel to new York or la

    • Dan

      I post those all the time as well. There have been some amazing ones recently.

  22. chinagel

    If none of the return dates are 693, how do I get a 693 flight?

    • Dan

      Pricing is based on the outbound flight, not the return flight.

  23. Mendy

    There are many people I know that are always looking for these type of tickets

  24. Tom

    Hi dan, I see a flight 5:15 pm landing in Newark on Friday. If I stay in NJ for shabbos, is it too close a call?

  25. Ben

    chase ink business plus card can redeem miles for this?

  26. Zach

    How long do these sales usually last?

  27. AYid

    Searched a few different dates all that comes up:

    No flights are available for your selected itinerary. Please select new airports or dates and try searching again
    Change search options

    • Dan

      Try another browser or another booking site.

  28. nate

  29. Chaim

    It is showing $769 for me not $693.

  30. LG

    Woo hoo! I’ve been waiting for this. Just book Jan – Feb dates for $693. Thank you!

  31. AYid

    Got it DAN! on Expedia THANKS!
    $770 roundtrip

  32. menachem

    Can i add a baby in lap later?

    • Dan

      Yes.
      But I’d suggest buying the baby a seat and bringing a carseat onboard instead of paying fees and holding the baby for 24 hours round-trip.

      • menachem

        The baby isn’t hear yet and don’t have a name to put on ticket.
        Anyway around that?

        • Dan

          Use infant as the first name and get it corrected once born.

          • menachem

            Tnx

          • Jack

            how do get it corrected, you can’t change the name on the ticket?

          • Shmiel

            DOB not required?

          • Dan

            Make it up, I do it all the time.

  33. flier

    does it include luggage? states baggage fees are not included in total cost

    • Dan

      Yes, 1 checked bag+2 carry-ons included.

  34. Rifky

    THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!! I GOT A DIRECT FLIGHT FROM EWR TO TLV FOR $769 !!!! MY DAUGHTER IS FCOMING FOR ROSH HASHANA UNTIL AFTER SUccos . We usually pay over $1000!

  35. kal

    booked for january with points… “it didn’t go thru”
    when we reentered info, they raised mileage for exact same tickets by 10,000 miles!

  36. LG

    BTW, I booked it directly on the united site. Does that make a difference?

  37. Andrew Lock

    Thanks Dan! 6 tickets booked with Chase for $693 each. The 4pm flight sold out while i was booking but i was able to snag the 11pm the same day. I’m still hoping Delta matches…

  38. Andrew Lock

    Also, does it have HDMI?

  39. NATHAN

    AUGUST 20 TO SEP 3 DOESNT WORK

    • Dan

      Looks like August 18/19/20 are already sold out. Gotta be quick when I write hurry

  40. moishe shimon

    if i have a relative gpru certificate can i apply it to the reservation? if not would it cost alot more to buy up to the upgradeable fare bucket in order to qualify? in general when you post these united deals on the lowest level economy ticket is it also on sale for upgradable econonmy class ticket? yasher kochachem for this metziah of a deal

    • Dan

      You would need to upgrade to W class, you can’t use GPUs on discounted tickets.

  41. lima

    price seem to have gone up to +1000

      • lima

        Sep 25 to Oct 28/29 was about 750-800 now above 1000

        • Dan

          September 25 never had $769 dates.

          • lima

            i checked few min after post and it was 3200 for 4 passengers, now its above 4k, is the current price considered a discount or regular fare for those dates? laso air canada has still for 3200, is this their current fare or it is only because united was so cheap?

          • lima

            Thank you Dan i bought

  42. Shmuel

    Dan,

    Can’t thank you enough.

    Grabbed three tickets for January.

    Kol Tuv

  43. danthecan

    Thanks Dan! I booked two tickets using about 90k Chase points for end of February beginning of March. You have a lot of patience answering all the comments.

  44. JS

    This make me sad. I bought a United ticket two weeks ago for $1168. Now the same itinerary is $969! And with a short stop over on the return, it would be $800.
    Is there any trick to get the new price? I assume not, but hoping there is.

  45. Shmuel

    FYI

    The second and third tickets priced out at 55,000 points; only the first at 46,000+.
    Looks like they realize there are takers and they hiked the miles price.

    But 55,000 is still a lot better than 85,000, the regular take per ticket.

    • Dan

      Depends on the dates. You can try a nearby date and see how many seats are on sale.

  46. Shmuel

    Not complaining. But it is the same dates.

    Again, thank you.

    • Dan

      There are a limited numbers of seats on sale for each flight. If you can’t get enough seats on your flight or date then try another one.

  47. Sahba Azar

    Hi Dan, how do I use Chase hybrid points if I have to buy through Priceline?

    • Dan

      You don’t. Read the post for the Chase link.

  48. Dan\'s the Man

    Thanks Dan I booked 2 tickets for a mother/daughter bat mitzvah trip!

    • Dan

      Awesome! Have the time of your lives!

  49. Greenspan

    Does anyone know the cheapest way to get to nyc to Uman roah hshana and then tlv for sukkos

    • Greenspan

      I have points available also

  50. Y

    Booked 2 flights December 1st through 15th (wanted to fly back at night, other days only had the day return for cheaper) with Sapphire Reserve for 46,256 points each.
    Realized afterwards that I had forgotten to put in for Kosher meals, but I was able to do that through United’s site using the flight info and the link from the reservation – not sure there was an option when booking (probably was and I missed it), but it was easy enough to do later.
    Thanks Dan, looking forward!

  51. David

    Dan:
    I got a great price for a flight leaving Thanks Giving afternoon at 4:05 PM arriving in Israel at 9:20 am Friday. I know there are no guarantees but if for some reason the flight is significantly delayed will United let me leave after Shobbos.

    thanks

    David

  52. Rivky

    On the Chase website 12/1 – 12/10 is coming up as $693.84, as promised, but 55,507 points.

    • Dan

      Sounds like you have a Sapphire Preferred, not a Sapphire Reserve.

  53. Yitzy

    Thank you Dan your the man. How do I request kosher food after booking this flight

  54. Shimon

    Need to depart on Oct 27 for three week stay. Strange that they have one date in Oct fo departures. Any suggestions please. Thanks for the posting and info !!

  55. Giddy

    Thanx Dan I booked 2 tickets how can I request kosher food?

  56. Sam

    I cant get any date to work in Feb…I’m booking a round trip for 1 via priceline…Am i doing somehting wrong?

    • Dan

      Looks like this deal just died!

  57. Dan

    Looks like this is dead folks. Congrats to everyone who got in on it!

  58. Elli

    Is there any insurance when I book with reserve points?

    • Dan

      Yes, same as when you pay with the Reserve card.

      • Elli

        So does that mean I can cancel at any point? Thanks

        • Elli

          Booked 2 tickets with points. Thank you!

      • Tony

  60. Work-for-ur-muny

    Just what I needed! But missed it, while my computer was malfunctioning… 🙁

    Make another such a sale, Dan…! 😛

  61. Shmuel

    Dan,

    Same potential issue for us as another member posted, but with Air Canada.

    We are flying with Air Canada through Montreal; leaving Montreal on a Thursday afternoon and arrive in Israel on Friday at 10:30 AM.

    If flight is delayed will we be allowed to leave after Shabbos from Montreal?

  62. RG

    Dan, booked for Shavuos 2020, question though….wouldnt allow me to book for 7 total passengers. I booked for 2 adults, 4 kids but I have to add a lap infant….best way to do that?

    • RG

      Called United. They charged $123. They wanted to charge me an extra $25 but I got it waived.

  63. MS

    Was it a price mistake or flash sale? I wonder if they will revive it?

  64. aviva

    anything miami to tel aviv ?

  65. Sammy

    How do I sign up for alerts on Israel deals in the future? Just get the 5PM update and missed this one. Thanks.

  66. yitzbo

    Tried booking Feb 15-23/2020 Feb 16-23/2020 and I don’t see the sale price? What am I missing?

    • Dan

      See the post update on top.

      Hurry means hurry.

  67. Aaron Frankel

    @dan I used Priceline and see they charged my infant who will be 6 months full price. They said they don’t do lap infant or bassinet. United said Priceline ticket they cant help with. Whats my solution to pay the 10% and get him a bassinet instead of a full price seat?
    Thanks!

    • Dan

      A carseat in a seat is much safer than a bassinet and you got a great price.

  68. Ed Travel

    Much cheaper option EWR to Rome with Norwegian is going for $262 RT

    One-way flights are starting as low as $116, and roundtrip itineraries can be purchased for as little as $262 when applying code FRIENDSOFNWGN to receive up to 10% off base fares.
    For routes will travel available into 2020, there is a blackout period between December 13 and January 7, 2020.
    Tickets must be purchased by Sunday, August 4, 2019, at 23:59 PST.

  69. Yelped

    @Dan, where do you draw your massive reserves of patience from?

  70. MM

    THANK YOU DAN!!!
    I got 3 tickets to Israel in December for $694 each!!
    Yasher Koach!!!

  71. Yitty

    Thank You dan! Got two tickets at $694 each. Is there a way I can get a bassinet for my baby without updating my seat to economy premium?

  72. Tony

    Flying during superbowl 🙁

    Does anyone know if the 11pm flight has live tv or if i can pay for it?

  73. Jake

    Is this still valid? Looking for aug 9 to aug 24 flexible dates
