just checking fares on ac.com from EWR - TLV, 1 of the routings offered is: EWR - MUC - YYZ - TLV for $8000 for that direction, combining it with TLV - YYZ - EWR on the return it comes out to $9880 ($1398 YQ).
why they don't offer EWR - HKG - YYZ - TLV?
it would be more miles
is AC even allowed to sell EWR - YYZ via MUC?
