HOT: American Airlines business class JFK ⇄ Tel Aviv for 70,000 miles each way

We checked aa.com ourselves on the night of Oct 10, 2026, and it's real: business class between JFK and Tel Aviv is pricing at just 70,000 AAdvantage miles each way — seats that normally go for 300K+ miles. Tel Aviv → JFK prices at the same 70,000 (we checked Nov 10; taxes and fees from $108.66). These are partner flights — British Airways, Iberia and Etihad — with 1–2 stops, not the AA nonstop. Dates pricing at 70K: Oct 27; Nov 2, 5, 7, 9–17, 23, 26–29; Dec 1, 2, 5, 6, 29. Dec 1 is the standout: 70K plus only $106.80 in taxes and fees. Watch the cash surcharge, though: some dates tack on up to ~$1,554, and plenty of dates have no business-class space at all — so grab a low-fee date the moment you see one. Stack it: 1.
