(FARE GONE) MA: TLL-TLV return, business class €291 all in (I-class)
A friend came asking me for cheap flights to TLV so I started looking around and found this excellent fare, which seems to be missing a zero at the end (same fare ex HEL is about €1100). This price in business is lower than most economy fares so really a good deal. There is plenty of availability.
Fare basis: IAQUABER
Penalties: Full refund before departure / Changes permitted with no fee
Stopovers: Unlimited in HEL and BUD
Minimum/Maximum stay: None
Season: None
Routing: TLL-AY-HEL-MA-BUD-MA-TLV (must be Malev-operated flights HEL-BUD)
Booking class: I on MA and Y on AY
BIS-miles: 2321 per direction
This is also available as one-way at half price.
I have issued tickets purchased on aa.com.

Brilliant find, OP. However, please note that AA.com warns "Service between BUD and TLV is subject to government approval. "
Do the TLL-HEL-TLL flights (operated by Tempelhof Express Air) earn miles / tier points on OneWorld partner programs suchs as BA's?

Gone?
I got all the way to the last screen, and then it said that it's no longer available. I tried with several different dates, all resulting in a major price hike on the last page. Did you actually purchase the ticket?

Very interesting fare I have it up wondering on same day turn arriving to TLV at 3:45am departing at 5:40am as I don't really need to visit TLV do I? Also I imagine the fun of a same day turn at TLV would be something having read some threads about it and the questioning although I would probably go without bags so that would make things easier I imagine
