So, I just pulled the trigger and booked a round-trip business class ticket from San Francisco to Tel Aviv during the Christmas holidays. At first, I did not really expect multiple award seats from various airlines to be widely available during the holidays. In this blog post, I’ll go over the steps I took from transferring points to booking with Flying Blue so you would not have to reinvent the wheel in case you want to replicate the process. Total miles: 125,000 Flying Blue Miles.
