Everyone this means you can fly to Israel for Pesach for less the $700 Round Trip. just fly to Moscow and transfer there to fly to Tel Aviv on ElAL or any other airline. I found tickets on ELAL for $400.
example dates 04/05 and returning 04/19
dan, do you know if there’s a way to get these fares originating from dme to lga ? it changes the entire price from like 84 each way to 261 each way, when i flip the departure city!!! it would be freat if i could fly a russian kid for pessach for $263 total!! please reply!
Forgive my ignorance, but is this a hot deal for doing a mileage run (not because we have any interest in going to Moscow)?
If so, the $200+ it costs will be made up by the miles earned, which get you free flights or upgrades – right?
(I just want to make sure I’m on the same page as all of you. I’ve never done a mileage run, but I think it might be a fun thing to do.)
@yuda:
Nice find!
@moe:
It’s only available going to Russia.
@Uri:
Assuming that you currently are not elite on AA then the $260 LGA-ORD-DME-ORD-LGA will net about 11,500 miles, making the cost about 2.2 cents per mile earned. Not quite enough to make it worth doing a mileage run.
My favorite mileage run was when I flew intra-texas flights for 36 hours a few years ago at a cost of about 0.5 cents per mile earned.
Just remember folks, when flying to Russia, one requires a visa which can take 10 days or so (if my memory serves me correctly)
Dan, I don’t have elite status on any airline as I don’t travel much.
But wow, in order for a trip to be worth doing a mileage run, it has to be less than $263 or more miles??? Must be hard to find such deals!
Shabbat Shalom.
By “or more miles” in my comment above, I meant: a greater distance, thereby earning more miles.
not a good idea for a mileage run either…
because if you have an american passport you will need a visa to russia! but if you have an israili passport you dont!!
just a bit of helpful info
there is a promo available for flights from the us to DME (Moscow)going on now thru June 30 so you can add on some more miles for this great deal. Here is the link you ned to enroll firt with AA
