So this fare sale from Delta is a particularly excellent deal. You can fly nonstop from New York to Tel Aviv for just $590 round-trip, including taxes. Fares are available on select dates from October through February. Both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem (a short drive from the airport) are worth visiting during the winter months, with mild temperatures and fewer tourists.Airline(s): DeltaRoute(s): JFK to TLVCost: $590 round-trip in economyDates: October 2015 through February 2016Elite Mileage Earning: At least 11,354 elite-qualifying milesFare Class: VBooking Link: OrbitzPay With: American Express Premier Rewards Gold, Citi Prestige or Chase Sapphire Preferred for general airfare bonuses; Gold Delta SkyMiles Amex, Platinum Delta SkyMiles Amex or Delta Reserve cards for Delta bonuses.Here’s an example of what you can book:New York (JFK) - Tel Aviv (TLV) for $590 round-trip on Delta (earns 11,354 MQMs):Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.

Because this is a Delta fare sale, though, if you have a co-branded Delta Amex such as the Gold Delta SkyMiles, Platinum Delta SkyMiles or Delta Reserve cards, you might want to consider using one of them instead to earn an additional 2x miles per $1 on your airfare.
