Best Ways to Fly to Israel With Points and Miles from Credit Cards (Updated 2026)

Contents show

Last Updated: October 17, 2026

It is safe to say that Israel is one of the most popular destinations in the Jewish world for using points and miles for flights. However, the world of miles, points, and credit cards can be confusing. This discussion offers the best ways to travel to Israel using points, miles, and credit cards.

Our guide focuses on the best ways to book flights to Israel with points, miles, and credit cards, including the options and their pros and cons. The goal is to help readers understand their best options for flying to the Holy Land for the best bang for their buck (or, in this case, points and miles).

We also have a guide to earning and using points for hotel stays in Israel and for flights.

A Note On Changes

The miles and points game is dynamic and subject to regular changes and updates. While we update this overview to keep pace with changes, some of the information below might become outdated between updates. Details may also change based on promotions throughout the year, such as transfer bonuses from American Express and Chase Ultimate Rewards points to airline miles (for example, with Virgin Atlantic), as well as sales that discount the number of miles an airline charges for a flight.

Best Credit Cards for Jewish & Kosher Travel

Bottom Line Up Front

Best Flight Option

In our opinion, the best option for getting to Israel nonstop via points and miles is United (when flights resume), starting around 42,500 United miles each way, though United now uses dynamic pricing, so costs may vary from about 35,000 to 75,000+ miles depending on demand and dates. You can sign up for a United card here to earn enough miles to go to Israel with points (plus other benefits, such as cheaper award tickets and greater flight award availability, which you can read about here).

You can also sign up for a credit card that earns Chase Ultimate Rewards, which you can then transfer 1:1 to United and other airline (and hotel) partners for free flights to Israel or hotel stays. Obtaining the Chase business card, which offers 90,000-100,000 Ultimate Rewards points, is currently a great offer and provides more points than most United cards.

Second Best Option

In our view, Aeroplan, at 40,000 points each way to Israel, is an excellent option (taxes are slightly higher than United’s on points tickets, typically around $50).

Current Reality: Booking El Al

With most international carriers suspending service, El Al is currently the primary option for direct US-Israel flights. While El Al is not a direct transfer partner of major US credit card programs, you can book El Al flights through:

Flying Blue (Air France/KLM program) – transferable from Chase, Amex, Citi, Capital One
Qantas Frequent Flyer – transferable from Amex, Capital One, Citi

See the “Booking El Al with Points” section below for details.

Other Options

We discuss additional options, such as via the SkyTeam and OneWorld airline alliances and Virgin Atlantic, but they are generally more costly than the options above.

You can also use Chase or American Express points to book directly through their respective travel booking portals. When tickets cost less in dollars, the points required will also be lower.

Start With Points Research Tools

Over the last few years, free and paid tools have proliferated, allowing you to search dates and destinations and get a bird’s-eye view of flights and their corresponding point costs. While these tools are not perfect and may not include all options, they are an invaluable way to get initial, quick clarity on options for flights via points to Israel.

Some of the most notable of these tools are as follows:

seats.aero
Point.me
awardtool.com
pointspath.com
pointsyeah.com
roame.travel

Scenario Specifics Will Change The Miles & Points Equation

Depending on variables such as time of year, location, and sales (including point transfer bonuses or point redemption sales), the best option to get to Israel via points and miles will change. Therefore, it is essential to review the current options and see what works best for your specific circumstance.

Direct Flights Vs. Stopovers to Israel

Direct flights from the United States to Israel are scarce and rarely available, even in normal times. This is especially true during the most popular travel seasons to Israel, including the main Jewish holidays of Passover and Sukkot, as well as the summer months. However, even a brief stopover in Europe opens up many more options, increases availability, and often lowers the points required for a trip.

The Starting Point Is That Certain Things Don’t Make Sense

One of the most confusing things about the world of airline points and miles is that the landscape is disjointed and often doesn’t make sense. For example, redeeming awards directly with an airline’s point currency might cost more than using that currency to book a flight with a partner airline. There are many reasons for this. Partly because of notoriously complex, bureaucratic mergers, partnerships, alliances, and, perhaps most significantly, ever-changing award-program rules and mileage-redemption charts. So, certain things don’t make much sense. This starting point will help you avoid a lot of needless frustration. Instead of trying to understand something that doesn’t make sense, it’s best to accept that the world of airfare, and mileage programs in particular, often lacks what seems intuitive.

Getting To Know The Mileage Programs & Corresponding Credit Cards

Two main types of currencies exist in the miles-and-points world. Bank-based currencies and program-based currencies. Bank-based currencies include Chase’s Ultimate Rewards and American Express Membership Rewards. These are generally the most valuable because they transfer widely to various mileage- and points-based programs and can also be used elsewhere, such as through shopping portals. In contrast, program-based currencies such as Marriott Rewards, American Airlines AAdvantage, United MileagePlus, etc., are native to specific programs. While they often have transfer partners, they are more limited and transfer at a significantly worse rate than Ultimate Rewards or Membership Rewards. In our opinion, Chase’s Ultimate Rewards is the grandfather of all points, as it’s the most valuable because of its flexibility and multitude of use cases.

Understanding Taxes & Fuel Surcharges

When booking flights with miles and points, you will almost always pay additional dollar fees on top of the points and miles redeemed. In the best-case scenario, this will be minimal, such as about $5, as you will see with United. For other bookings, surcharges and taxes can exceed $1,000, making redemption nonsensical. The fees can be confusing, though, because much of the cost depends on the carrier’s home-base government and the fees it mandates (London is notorious for this). So the same route booked on the same mileage program can have substantially different out-of-pocket costs depending on the airline. For this reason, get a lay of the land, see which carriers charge these fees, and compare them to find the best option.

Airport Lounges

If flying nearly free via points and miles is the main event, enjoying luxurious airport lounges with kosher food before flying is the cherry on top. From lounges that offer chef-prepared meals, including kosher options, to top-shelf bars and showers, the types of lounges and how to access each are a broader discussion in themselves. Lounges also come in various types. They range from ultra-premium American Express Centurion lounges, accessible with the Amex Platinum card, to the United Club lounge, accessible with the United Explorer or other United credit cards. There are also non-credit card or airline-operated lounges, including Priority Pass lounges, which you can access with a variety of credit cards, such as Chase’s Sapphire Reserve, Capital One’s Venture X, and the Amex Platinum card.

Our Favorite Ways To Use Points To Get To Israel

United Airlines To Israel

Crowned by DansDeals as the overall “best mileage program that exists today,” United’s MileagePlus program packs a powerful punch for getting to Israel. It offers plenty of availability and options, plus attractive point redemptions. First, it flies one of the few direct routes from the USA to Israel (when service resumes) and offers stellar Polaris business class. Also, even when a direct flight isn’t available, Star Alliance membership (the largest airline alliance) offers many additional options through partners via connecting flights (usually in Europe).

Unlike many other airlines, United has another significant advantage: it does not levy a fuel surcharge on award bookings. Additionally, having one of the United credit cards we discuss in greater detail below makes MileagePlus even more attractive in various ways, including increased award flight availability.

Check United’s current Tel Aviv schedule and travel notices for your exact dates before booking. Service, frequencies, and award availability can change.

Award Pricing

United now uses dynamic pricing for award flights, so costs vary by demand and date. Economy awards to Israel typically range from approximately 35,000 to 75,000+ miles one-way, with 42,500 miles being a common price point. Business class awards generally start at 75,000 miles one-way but can go much higher during peak periods.

The photo below shows a common point quantity required for economy class. Notably, direct flights from New York to Tel Aviv (when operating) are often the cheapest in both points required and taxes levied (approximately $5.60). Star Alliance partners can be booked through United, including options where Lufthansa operates the EU-TLV leg. A United credit card provides exclusive access to award flights not available to those without the card.

While United is attractive for direct business flights on its Polaris product from the USA to Tel Aviv, availability is notoriously tricky to find. Where available, it ranges from 75,000 to 180,000 points. Flying via Europe, either with a stopover or through United’s partners, significantly opens up availability. Often, the routes are “mixed cabin,” where the USA-EU leg is in business while the EU-TLV leg is in economy.

For travelers interested in adding a European visit, compare multi-city and open-jaw itineraries under the booking program’s current rules. United ended the Excursionist Perk for new award bookings on August 21, 2025, so it should no longer be included in a new booking strategy.

Booking Flights On United’s Star Alliance Partners

Booking a flight to Europe via United’s Star Alliance partners when there are no direct United flights and then taking a flight from Europe to Tel Aviv is a popular option, especially for those with flexibility and who don’t mind a stopover. Some of the most popular Star Alliance partners Jewish travelers use are LOT Polish Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Swiss Airlines, and Lufthansa. These can be booked via the United.com booking tool by selecting “Book with Miles.” United not tacking on fuel surcharges is a notable plus, as many other mileage programs do.

Earning United Points

The best way to earn miles and points for flying to Israel is through one of United’s credit cards, which offers a substantial sign-up bonus and additional rewards for strategic spending in specific categories.

Points from Chase’s Ultimate Rewards program, one of the most widely used and valuable point currencies, can also transfer to United at a 1:1 ratio.

The United Credit Cards Offer Perks Beyond Just Miles

Several United credit cards offer unique signup bonuses and a suite of benefits. Beyond earning points on the United credit card, specific United credit cards offer expanded and cheaper award availability, free bags, lounge access, no foreign transaction fees, primary CDW car rental insurance, free Global Entry/TSA PreCheck, and the cancellation of award tickets for free (subject to fine print), among other benefits.

VIEW ALL THE UNITED BUSINESS CARDS

United also offers the United Gateway card, which has no annual fee but offers a smaller sign-up bonus of 20,000-30,000 miles.

Earning Chase Ultimate Rewards

As we mentioned, Chase Ultimate Rewards is the most valuable points currency. They can be transferred to United instantly (among other transfer options to additional airlines and hotel miles and points programs) to take advantage of the flight options we listed above. Below are some of the most popular Chase cards for earning points.

Chase Sapphire Reserve®

New cardholders can earn up to 175,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases within the first three months from account opening. Some applicants may be targeted for 125,000 points; offers vary.

$300 Annual Travel Credit

3X Points on dining, select streaming services, and online grocery purchases
2X Points on other travel purchases

Chase Business Cards

Chase’s business cards offer some of the highest sign-up bonuses and, contrary to what some might think, are available even to those without an incorporated legal entity. Therefore, sole proprietors who sell on the side or have some other less traditional business can also apply for these cards.

Chase Ink Business Preferred® – STRONG OFFER

Earn 90,000-100,000 bonus points after spending $8,000 on purchases in the first 3 months after account opening.

Chase Ink Unlimited®

Turkish Airlines

In February 2023, Turkish Airlines significantly devalued its points redemption chart. What was once an economy ticket from New York to Tel Aviv for 32,000 points is now 58,000 points, rendering this option no longer attractive compared to alternatives like United or Aeroplan.

Booking with United via Turkish can be a little confusing, but this guide makes the process much easier.

Accruing Turkish Airlines Points

Citi Card

Citi ThankYou points can be transferred to Turkish Airlines, although the transfer is not instant and may take up to 30 hours. However, Turkish allows you to place a hold on award bookings for free, so the transfer wait time may not be an issue. An added 10% rebate on point transfers for a card like the Citi Rewards+ Card makes a transfer even more appealing.

Marriott Bonvoy Transfers 3:1

One can also transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to Turkish Airlines at a 3:1 ratio, meaning 3 Marriott points equal one Turkish Airlines mile. However, transfers can take a long time. Therefore, holding a booking will often not provide enough time. The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is through one of Chase’s Marriott credit cards.

Air Canada’s Aeroplan Program

Aeroplan prices awards according to total flown distance and operating airline. For North America–Atlantic itineraries covering 6,001–8,000 flown miles, the published chart lists 60,000 points in economy and 90,000 in business on other partner airlines.

For Air Canada and “Select Partners,” including United, prices in that band start at 55,000 points in economy, 70,000 in premium economy, and 90,000 in business, and can vary. These amounts are one-way, before taxes and applicable fees. Connections can increase the distance and move an itinerary into another band.

Class of Service To Israel	Miles Needed
Economy	60,000 miles
Business	90,000 miles

In 2020, Aeroplan overhauled its program, including phasing out previously hefty fuel surcharges on some partner flights. Other changes were mixed, with some scenarios where awards became more expensive and others less. On balance, though, the change was generally positive for trips to Israel.

Use Aeroplan’s cost simulator to estimate how many points specific itineraries will require.

Earning Aeroplan Points

Chase Aeroplan Credit Card

At the end of 2021, Chase launched an Aeroplan-branded credit card that offers 2 flight reward certificates (up to 50,000 points each) after spending $4,000 in the first three months from account opening.

Transfer Partners To Aeroplan

Eligible American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Capital One miles accounts transfer to Aeroplan at a standard 1:1 ratio. Confirm your account’s current transfer terms and timing before moving points.

Marriott Bonvoy points can be transferred to Aeroplan at a 3:1 ratio.

American Express® Gold Card

60,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $4,000 within the first six months. $325 annual fee

The Platinum Card® from American Express

Apply and find out if you’re eligible for as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $8,000 in eligible purchases in the first 6 months. Welcome offers vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer. $895 annual fee (increased from $695).

Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card

Earn 60,000-75,000 bonus miles after meeting minimum spending requirements. $95 annual fee

The Virgin Atlantic Options

Booking Delta Flights Via Virgin Atlantic

Virgin Atlantic Flying Club can book eligible Delta-operated award flights. Under Virgin’s published Delta chart for “all other routes,” nonstop New York–Tel Aviv falls in the 6,001+ mile band: 65,500 points one way in economy or 165,000 in Delta One business class, plus taxes and applicable charges.

Delta must release partner award seats to Virgin, so availability can differ from Delta’s own SkyMiles results. Compare both programs before transferring points.

As DansDeals reports, utilizing Virgin’s beta award calendar makes it easier to find dates with award availability. If you have Virgin Atlantic points, you can also book Air France flights through Virgin, which can be a viable alternative when Delta availability is limited. These Air France flights are not direct and require connections through Europe. While they require fewer points (typically around 20,000-30,000), they have higher taxes (approximately $150+ vs. $5 for Delta).

Flying On Virgin-Operated Flights To Israel Generally Has Hefty Taxes

Using Virgin Points Through Partner Airlines

Virgin Atlantic canceled its London Heathrow–Tel Aviv service in April 2025. Flying Club can still be useful for eligible partner awards, including Delta and Air France/KLM flights, subject to the available itinerary and partner award inventory.

Transfer Partners to Virgin Atlantic

The following currencies are transferable to Virgin Atlantic:

American Express Membership Rewards (1:1, instant transfer)
Chase Ultimate Rewards (1:1, instant transfer)
Citi ThankYou (1:1)
Marriott Bonvoy (3:1)

Chase and AmEx often offer transfer bonuses to Virgin ranging from 25% to 30%, making the flights even more attractive. For example, a 65,500-point award would require 51,000 bank points during a hypothetical 30% transfer bonus if transfers must be made in 1,000-point increments. Confirm the promotion’s terms and award availability before transferring.

To book via Virgin Atlantic, you must create a free Flying Club account.

Booking El Al with Points & Miles

El Al has become the primary carrier for direct US-Israel flights. While El Al is not a direct transfer partner of major US credit card programs like Chase or Amex, there are still ways to book El Al using points:

Via Flying Blue (Air France/KLM)

Flying Blue no longer considers Israel to be in the Europe category for miles redemptions, which resulted in an increase in the required miles. However, Flying Blue now lets you book El Al flights with miles, making it a viable option for those who prefer Israel’s flag carrier for security or other reasons.

Pricing: Flights from the US to Israel via Flying Blue typically start at 30,000+ miles each way in economy and 85,000+ miles in business class. However, be aware that these bookings require a significant cash component for taxes and fees (often $150-300+), which is why we generally prefer Star Alliance options when they’re available.

Screenshot showing EL AL points flights bookable via Flying Blue

Transfer Partners to Flying Blue:

Chase Ultimate Rewards (1:1, instant)
American Express Membership Rewards (1:1, instant)
Citi ThankYou Points (1:1)
Capital One (1:1, instant)

Via Qantas Frequent Flyer

Qantas prices eligible EL AL awards using its Partner Classic Flight Reward table. For the 5,801–7,000-mile band applicable to a nonstop New York–Tel Aviv itinerary, the published one-way price is 51,800 points in economy or 125,400 in business, plus taxes, fees, and carrier charges. Other distances have different prices, and eligible partner award seats must be available.

Transfer Partners to Qantas:

American Express Membership Rewards (1:1)
Capital One Miles (1:1)
Citi ThankYou (1:1)

Cash Booking with Travel Credit Cards

Many travelers are currently paying cash for El Al flights given the limited alternatives. If booking with cash, consider using a travel credit card that earns bonus points on airfare:

Chase Sapphire Reserve: Earns 5X points on flights booked through Chase Travel℠, 3X on direct airline purchases
Amex Platinum: Earns 5X points on flights booked directly with airlines or through Amex Travel
Capital One Venture X: Earns 5X miles on flights booked through Capital One Travel

SkyTeam & Oneworld Options

The previous options we discussed were all part of the Star Alliance, the largest and, in our view, the best option for getting to Israel. The second-largest is SkyTeam, and the third-largest is Oneworld. Here, we’ll briefly cover some of the best ways to fly to Israel through these alliances.

Iberia

Spain’s flagship carrier and a member of the Oneworld alliance, Iberia can be a great option for flying from the USA to Israel, at the right time and under the right circumstances. Iberia has no direct flights, so a stopover in Madrid is generally required. They fly from five US cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago. Redemptions range from 28,000 each way for NY to 32,500 each way for LA. There is generally a $100 fee each way, which can make it less attractive than the previous options.

You can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards, AmEx Membership Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy points into Iberia Avios. You can also transfer British Airways Avios, such as those earned with Chase’s British Airways card, into Iberia Avios.

Delta

Delta is part of the SkyTeam alliance, and prices award flights dynamically, so there is no set amount. Therefore, it is challenging to determine the typical cost of a point-to-point flight. Economy awards to Israel typically range from 50,000 to 90,000+ points each way depending on demand, plus approximately $50-100 in fees.

Delta announced a restart of daily New York-JFK–Tel Aviv service beginning September 6, 2026. Check Delta’s current schedule and travel advisories before booking.

Points Transfer Options: Points can be transferred instantly from AmEx to Delta (1:1).

Nonstop Routes From North America to Israel

Updated October 17, 2026. Planned launches and resumptions are identified separately below.

Main Nonstop Options

New York area

EL AL: New York–JFK and Newark (EWR).
United: Newark (EWR); service resumed in September 2026.
Delta: New York–JFK; service resumed in September 2026.

Other East Coast gateways

EL AL: Boston (BOS) and Miami (MIA).

West Coast

EL AL: Los Ángeles (LAX).

Announced Launches and Resumptions

These are scheduled future options, rather than flights already operating as of this update:

EL AL — San Francisco (SFO): Nonstop service is scheduled to begin October 25, 2026.
United — Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Washington Dulles (IAD): Service is scheduled to resume in late October 2026.
United — San Francisco (SFO): Service is scheduled to resume in March 2027.
Air Canada — Toronto Pearson (YYZ): Nonstop service is scheduled to resume November 30, 2026.

American Airlines: Its JFK–Tel Aviv service remains suspended. American should not currently be listed as an operating nonstop option from JFK or Miami.

For departures from Canada, check Air Canada’s current schedule and advisories. Toronto and Montreal should not be listed as current EL AL nonstop gateways.

European & Other Connecting Routes

A connection through Europe can open additional flight and award options. The following are gateways to search; confirm that every segment operates on your travel dates and that the desired award seats are available.

Star Alliance

Austrian Airlines: Via Vienna (VIE).
LOT Polish Airlines: Via Warsaw (WAW).
Lufthansa: Via Frankfurt (FRA) or Munich (MUC).
SWISS: Via Zurich (ZRH).
TAP Air Portugal: Via Lisbon (LIS), subject to its scheduled Israel service and any applicable resumption dates.

SkyTeam

Air France: Via Paris–Charles de Gaulle (CDG).
KLM: Via Amsterdam (AMS).

Oneworld

British Airways: Via London Heathrow (LHR).
Iberia / Iberia Express: Via Madrid (MAD); confirm the operating airline and availability of the Israel segment.

Additional EL AL Connections

EL AL flights from European gateways can provide another way to complete the trip when a North American nonstop is unavailable. If purchasing separate tickets, allow a substantial connection buffer and account for baggage, airport transfers, and possible overnight accommodation.

Important: Published schedules, restart dates, and award availability can change. Confirm the operating airline, stop count, and current service advisories before booking or transferring points. For ongoing developments, consult the airlines directly and DansDeals.

Practical Booking Tips for Current Environment

Given the current flight suspension situation, here are some practical tips:

Book Early When Service Resumes: Award availability to Israel is limited even in normal times. Book 10-11 months out when possible.
Be Flexible with Dates and Routes: Consider flying into Athens, Rome, or another European city and connecting on a budget carrier or El Al.
Monitor Flight Resumptions: Set up Google Alerts for “United Israel flights resume” and similar searches for your preferred carrier.
Have Backup Plans: Don’t rely on international carrier service resuming by specific dates, as these have been pushed back multiple times.
Consider Positioning Flights: Sometimes flying to a hub city first, then using points for the transatlantic segment, can open up more award space.
Use Search Tools Efficiently: Sites like seats.aero and AwardTool can help you search multiple programs simultaneously to find the best availability.
Know Your Travel Insurance: Check if your travel insurance covers flight cancellations due to regional conflicts, as this has been an issue for some travelers.
Book Refundable When Possible: Given the uncertainty, consider booking refundable awards or tickets when available, even if they cost more points initially.

Remember That Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day, & Neither Is Understanding The Israel Points & Miles Game

The expression could not be any more pertinent. In our experience, the biggest barrier to more people using miles, points, and credit card benefits for travel is the confusion at the start. Of course, everyone is confused at the outset. Still, after taking some time to get acquainted with the core players, options, and credit card application rules, you can unlock highly discounted travel to Israel and beyond. You might even enjoy collecting points and miles and exploring various strategies.

Wishing you happy and safe travels to Israel on points and miles from credit cards!
