for some people simple is good, I often wonder how more than 80% of the passengers flying NYC-TLV can handle the back of the bus that long!
I had a DL/LY C class reward on hold(SFO-DL Y-JFK-LY C-TLV), I didn't ticket it because I had a better idea: SFO-TLV LY/DL was 120K in C. I booked SFO-CDG-ATH with AF in F(C intraeurope) and a ticket from ATH-TLV on LY. total 120k for F/C/Y, or 130k for F/C/C.
again, its not the kind of thing a non-FT type person would be into...
