TLV - NYC abot 50% more expensive than NYC - TLV
I just tried to book a "S" class ticket on TLV - NYC - TLV route and its about $2300!!!!!!!!!
I checked NYC - TLV - NYC in "M" class is much much cheaper at arounbd $1600
thats $700 difference!!!!
I need to buy three tickets so I will buy one TLV - NYC - TLV and 2 NYC - TLV - NYC.
So i will save about $1400!!!!
Maybe i will try to buy a one way TLV - NYC and then buy always starting from NYC.

Nothing unusual about this.
Rules of supply and demand, the market etc...
It is cheaper to start a trip with BA from almost anywhere then it is from LHR.
Speaking of which, why don't you go with BA in WT+.
It will cost you $1,688.10, so you will save over $600.
You will travel in more comfort, and it will earn you a nice amount of miles and TP with BA.
In fact it will earn you 75% of the point you are going to need in order to renew your silver card with them.
If you were buying an S ticket hoping for a last minute upgrade, you could upgrade the WT+ flight to CW with very few miles.

Wait...
M is not equal to S....
You should compare apples to apples, and oranges to oranges...
Compare M to V class....
You can find TLV - NYC -TLV in 1200 if you go K or T class...

If your first leg is NYC-TLV, then its Y-M-B, etc.
If your first leg in TLV-NYC then its Y-S-Q, etc.
As far as last minute upgrades go, S and M are the same.
