True.
Those numbers are from my last revenue Z ticket. In my experience, because I'm always flying the same route, most of my Z tickets are in the same price range, same seems to be true for my P tickets. Therefor, the award miles is very similar each time.

I don't have a bubble to burst.
And I wrote exactly what you did. (I used a word "stop" where I should have used "transfer", sorry about it).
US via Canada to Israel is 2 regions - that's what I said.
North America via Europe to Middle East is 3 regions - I said that too.
Mentioning stopovers was just extra information for those who don't know that they are allowed to make two stopovers when booking return trips across 2 regions or 3 regions.

While LH wants not only more miles (92,000 miles) when flying LH metal, they also want 560 USD in fees and charges while using miles on SQ is only 67,000 and less than 50 USD fees and charges.

I’ve also called the PPS Connect service and they couldn’t even release some seats that were available to Basic M&M members.
So whilst M&M has its drawbacks, USA-TLV being one of them.. I think 3 region pricing EU-AUS is fair and availability is very good.
