Point/Miles Conversion Chart
Pros
- Points plus cash award option
Cons
- Fuel surcharges
- Expensive award prices
- Limited amount of partners
Excellent for
- Short flights from Tel Aviv start from 300 miles in Economy one way.
- Flights within Australia on Qantas start at 350 miles in Economy and 700 in Business.
Insider Tip
- One of the few programs where upgrades may be a better value than awards: A one-way upgrade from Economy to Business from New York to Tel Aviv starts at 1,400 points where Business to First on the same flight costs about 1,800 points.
- When looking to fly El Al, also check for awards through Qantas’ program as they often offer better deals due to better conversion rates with US credit card mega reward programs. Keep in mind, you can only use Qantas miles for yourself or family members.
Do you use this program? Share your experience and tips in the comments below. Your thoughts would be very valuable to us!
Choose where you are going from and to by selecting the respective zones. There are two ways to choose your origin and destination - you can either select the zones they fall into on the map or by clicking on the bars above the map and entering the city name or airport code into the search fields.
- Choose one of the three point combination options which is applicable to you. If you don't have any miles in any airline accounts you can leave those fields blank.
- Input all of the different points you have on the credit cards you are planning to use. You can enter as many as you like. If you have multiple cards on one name from the same bank you can combine and enter the total amount of points between all of your cards.
- Enter all the miles you have in airlines frequent flyer programs on the left hand side following the airlines name.
- Once you input the information, click on the analyze button at the bottom of the page.
- The analyzer will offer you the optimal transfer combinations to explore as well as pros and cons of each.
- Review analyzer recommendations. Total number of miles is not the only consideration you should take into account. Analyzer will give you additional information about each program to make the right decision. You can also download results to a pdf and even send them to others if you like.
- Proceed to check availability with respective airlines. Do not transfer any miles until you confirm the desired option is available on the airline’s website. Note the transfer time and hold the reservation if possible before transferring any miles.
- Remember all transfers are final as you would not be able to send the points back to your credit card. If your trip is cancelled your miles will go back to the respective airline account.
- Transferring points to airline's frequent flyer programs is not the only way to obtain the award ticket. You can also redeem the points through your credit card directly by using the Book Travel option. You can find out more by checking out our Credit card reward tab on Wikimiles home page.
- WikiMiles Crew is always here to answer any questions. For an additional fee we can also assist you with the bookings. Use the Contact us section to reach out to us.

The system doesn.t recognize me.
could you please help me.
I flew to England and came back, want to add this to my Matmid.
Please note Matmid frequent flyer number consists of 7-9 digits. To update points from flights that were not registered in your Matmid please login in the account on EL AL website site and type in the flight details. The missing flight points will be updated by a Service Center representative within 10 work days from receipt of the request. Points can be credited for flights that took place during the previous 12 months, conditional on your having been Matmid members at the time of the flight.
I would prefer to speak on the phone if possible. (728)902-1199
Thank you
