issta has tlv-lca 21-25 may for about $205, last week it was more $ for the same flights. do the prices keep lowering? other dates are not available at this rate. why? they look like real "scheduled" flights--do they come with ff points?
are there other sites to search for lower-priced LY tkts? thanks!

It's possible they pre-bought bulk seats and have trouble selling them so they are lowering the prices.
Daka-90 (a term from soccer meaning last minute) specialize in last minute deals. Issta is the official student (and other youngsters and backpakers) travel agency and as such they are specializing in cheap air fares for popular destinations for their crouds and Cyprus is developing to be one like this (especially Aya-Napa).

it is interesting. i have been watching the flights for next week. daka90 offers sun-thurs LY flights, and the price is dropping. was in the low 200's, now 161. Ly sells same flights for 250. but, alas daka90 has that price for only those exact flights, and not the dates i would like. am almost tempted to post as a mileagerun :)

Definitely.
However how many points depends on what fare class its booked in.
I assume based on the low fare offered by daka90, you would get 25% or 50% Matmid points max.

which to someone who needs the points to keep or get status, that they will be paying either 2x or 4x per pt. I usually fly CO if I fly DL on a cheap fare L or U for sure its only 50% for the EQMs. Which means if CO wants $300 for a tkt and DL wants $200 then although DL is $100 cheaper, EQM wise DL is $400 for tkt $100 more then CO.
If someone isnt interested in EQMs then daka90 seems like a great deal.
