Skyteam Pricing
Hi All!
It seems I've put all my eggs in one basket with regards to FFPs and only have status on ST (3 times over, but never mind)... I have an upcoming trip:
TLV-GRU-NYC-TLV slated for June and July. I have tried pricing it with beta.itasoftware.com, and have gotten the lowest business class fare all with *A using LH/UA/LH. Is there any tool available that can help me search according to alliances and not airlines?
Thanks in advance for any help...
All the best,
Arie

You end up with a lot of M&M miles for that trip, and even more if you can find a two class UA flight.
Also, just try Orbitz, and see what appears. Play with various NYC airports, the price changes.

I can't seem to find where I can specify airlines in ITA - also Orbitz won't even look for a ticket for me starting from Tel Aviv... It is a pity that the alliances themselves don't have a joint schedule/price site or app.
After looking at LH's website, it might be time to try them out as I may be going regularly between TLV and GRU - it is interesting that they have a whole different outlook on how to run a FFP it would seem. It makes it very hard to try and compare...
