I don't know what the policy is about (he's in a different part of my company), but if I have to do that it will be with one of the Amex partner airlines.

I'm hoping to get a better deal with LY and see if I can convince them to let us fly that.
No Problem, simply fly whomever you want over to Europe and connect to an LY flight for the portion into and out of TLV. I see such segments all the time on Orbitz, although I dont know how that will end up $$ wise for a Biz tkt. You wont get EQMs for the LY part but can earn miles on a few Carriers for it eg DL/AA
