For the first time in years I can't seem to redeem FF miles (UA this time around) to get tickets to IL this summer, even being really flexible with dates (mid July to mid August). There's availability going to TLV from ORD but coming back is totally blanked out (CO, US, LH/UA combo, etc). The same is true for Athens and Istanbul, 2 locations the kids have not been to before.

Any suggestions for a UA / * Alliance stop over in Europe that has a non-stop to TLV at a decent price (i.e. FF miles to Europe, paid ticket from there to TLV and back)?
