We will be flying USAir to TLV with a tour - so we'll pay for hotel separately because we'll want to stay with the group. I'm figuring if I can save on the airfare, I'll be very happy. I'd love first class, but think aiming for coach is more realistic. The trip will be in June/July which is peak season.

I already have one SW card (personal) so i would miss out on that - but yes, I could get 50K for business and then the other 100K for my husband.

Companion ticket wouldnt help too much because I often fly on business and dont have someone else with me.
