PER-TLV

[danski]

Hi all!

Ive always found this site a valuable discussion point for tracking the best options for travelling so would be great to hear everyone`s thoughts on the above itinerary roughly 3/1/23-26/1/23. Looking to book business but everything from Aus is . Currently gold but soon to be plat with Virgin Aus (Thanks work ) and normally fly Singapore air.
Has anyone got suggestions/recommendations on booking the best route would? love direct but can see it will be $$$$.

Thanks everyone!

There's no direct option. Best is one stop. Quickest will be EK via Dubai. Prior to Covid CX via HKG was a one stop option but terrible layovers. There was a Thai and El Al one stop option via BKK. And finally QF/BA via LHR.

Not really sure how VA status is going to help unless you're going SQ to Europe first.

You can book SQ to Istanbul, then connect on Turkish Airlines.

PER-DXB-TLV is going to be the simplest/easiest.

In addition to the SQ option, you could do GA via DPS onto TK via IST (and is probably pretty price competitive) which will be two stops.

Other options are likely to be longer / more backtracking.

Looking at ITA Matrix, MH/TK two stops in J $7351 and ~22 hrs each way.

J seats ex-Asia ports tend to be cheaper than ex-AU ports ... also, see if you can apply for TK status match (I'm not sure if this is still on?) and fly J all the way with TK, you will get the number of flights & bonus points etc and *A gold as part of the process?

Mid to high A$3ks in J 1 stop ex SIN/BKK/KUL. A bit more in TK or direct on EL.

Yeah there looked to be decent pricing also ex-PER on MH to KUL then TK from there.
