Depends on dates and availability.

i mean new york to tel aviv for 19k
Can anyone sign up for flying Blue and use their Chase points or is there a fee?
Free.

How many points for business?
Anything from Montreal
Can I get a deal to NYC-TLV at a later date like March?
Only if you ask nicely.
Lol
If I sign up for a card now and put on the $4k in purchases as soon as the card arrives, how soon will the 50k bonus points hit my account? In time for the 30% bonus for transferring points by August 29th?
does this work with their partner airline like Delta?
