Not as good as your deal, but a free BA reg coach, is 65k and $507 so much for a free tkt (thats between NY & TLV) 1st availability 11/08
Now if a person saved up those 65k on ElCheapos then at 25% of actual mileage being credited they needed to fly 260k actual miles to get the 65k in their acct, plus they get to pay BA the $507 as well.
