Realy? Because I remember askingif LY allows stopovers in TLV when flying to HKG  and was told no. Interesting that you can do that to JNB and BKK.

Fare rules usually have a MPM - and NYC>TLV>HKG I guess is way over, same reason CX doesn't have a fare NYC>HKG>TLV & KE NYC>ICN>TLV

For KE it would actually make a lot of sense to code share with AF/KL/AZ and Air Europa via TLV.

Do consumers really care about how green an airline is?
most probably the people who add the $7.62 for co2 offset on tickets

FYI - today El Al launched a hotel booking site run by Kaligo that lets Matmid members earn/use points for hotel bookings.  El Al does not appear as a partner on the regular Kaligo site.  Check it out at: hotels.elal-matmid.com

Just curious, noticed Elal had a flight LY21 at 11:30pm and then LY1 12:45am ex tlv. Why do they have 2 flights so close to each other? Is the LY21 a regular flight?

Has anyone had success upgrading a regular discount economy ticket to a premium economy (and how much)? I tried and was shot down with them saying its a totally different class and not like the old economy plus upgrade, wondering if its worth it to huca. Would think if i paid the difference in current price they should give it, but they didnt budge...

Should be able just like you can upgrade now to business. You will need to pay the pen (ohum) + fare difference

Sorry I missed that. I like the D and G, as both have aisle access. So you won't be bothered or have to go over someone else if you want to go around

11 and 12.
There is not much traffic, especially on red eyes. But the seats are narrower than on their other wide body jets

Have you logged into your itinerary to see if you have "plusgrade" offer (bidding for an upgrade)?

Give it a shot.
