I feel that your current design is very nice, simple and loads very fast while your new design seems bulky (apart from not working properly). May be you can have a poll before you actually change a design. Good luck on your adventure! Hey TPG,

For strictly BA flight, flying through Heathrow, fees are much higher (I think in the $500-600 range). On AA the route is 90,000 miles roundtrip (no major fees) because Israel is listed as part of the Indian subcontinent. This makes it cheap to travel to Delhi (35K miles) on an all-partner reward on either Royal Jordanian or El Al but lots of miles when going to Europe or North America. Here the best solution I've found so far: Use 20K BA miles to get TLV-Madrid on Iberia. This will cost you $40 in fees. Then use 40K AA miles to get JFK-Madrid on American Airlines (when you travel off-peak, which is roughly Oct - May.) That's 60,000 total with almost no fees. @jeff1 – On BA, JFK-TLV is 65,000 plus $295 (in economy) when you fly Royal Jordanian.

I remember reading about shopping through Skymiles to get points. Tonight I discovered that I could get 12 miles per $. I was very pleased to earn 3,000 miles! The process was so easy that i wished i had done this in my previous groupon purchases! I have earned s many points since I started reading your blog in March. Thank you!!
