If these dates have anyhting to do with peak times or anything on the religious calendar, I would say forget it. It's not so much a question of those with TLV experience, it's a CO and/or FT experience thing. Several threads have lamented CO's seat shortage to TLV...the flights sell out, so rewards aren't easy.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the CO partner desk can do this.

Who are your hotel points with? How many do you have?
Sorry to create more questions than answers, but you have to start somewhere.
