I think that the point made by ly787 is that when Delta started their TLV-ATL service they offered double miles for travelling Economy and triple for Business for anyone travelling before June 30. LY is only offering a 50% bonus and only if you fly Business.

not so cheap
one flight will get you 800 for D/I + 400 for the promotion +25% or 50%
if you are GL or PL so it 1400 or 1600 points...
looks OK for me when a ticket to Europe is 1800 points in Biz Class
Lior
1A all the way..

Actually the 767's Business class is much more comfortable than on the 777, though they dont have the Individual TV's.
I think the point was to attract buisness customers because they offer the only nonstop LAX - TLV. No need to stop in YYZ.

WOW!
I've really been out of the loop for a while. I didn't even know this route was going 777 nonstop. That's so fantastic.
I really hope tourism picks up enough to get that ORD-TLV nonstop back again, but in the meantime, I'm going to try to pester my family in LA to visit Israel more.

Biz Class TLV-ATL-LAX -- until June 30
TLV-ATL 6437 miles x 1.5 (for Biz) = 9655 x 3 for special bonus = 28965 miles
ATL-LAX 1946 miles x 1.5 (for FC) = 2919 miles
LAX-TLV 1946 miles x 1.5 (for FC) = 2919 miles
TLV-LAX 6437 miles x 1.5 (for Biz) = 9655 x 3 for special bonus = 28965 miles
Total: 63768
If you are GM or PM you get double base miles which means an additional 16766 miles. That brings the total to 80,534 miles.
That is enough for:
2 and 2/3rds r/t award tickets TLV to Europe in Coach (on LY)
or
2 r/t r/t award tickets TLV to Europe in Biz (on LY)
or
1 coach ticket to the US (on LY or any SkyTeam partner)
