Is the deep discounted fare on elal the typical price you get from a travel agent?
I did not realize that you get only 50% miles on AA when flying Elal. A few years ago it was 100%, I guess it changed.
So you are saying it is about 15 flights to get a ticket either on ELal or AA, either one is not really a good option so it doesn't matter too much I guess.
I don't know how the agent buys miles I assume/hope it's legal.
