Alitalia is running a sale to Tel Aviv for $762 from New York. It is also giving away a 10% off coupon for signing up for its newsletter. Combining the sale with the coupon, you can get it for as low as $698. At $698, it is slightly over our 6 cents per mile criterion (6.1 cents per mile) but we’re still running this deal today because:

1. Flights to Israel from New York aren’t that cheap compared to Washington, D.C. or Chicago.
2. It’s a popular destination from New York.
