I'm supposed to fly Delta on Motzei Shabbos. I'd rather fly ELAL on Sunday, so I'm taking your advice. On hold now.
Futile attempt? Delta has no agreement with ELAL...
Rep says she can't do anything besides for partner flights.

Is the Sat night flight cancelled already? If it is they can reprotect you on Elal if you don't want to travel with a stop. Have done it this morning for someone whose flight was cancelled  with Delta for Thursday night.

No. But the suspension is indefinite.
But even if it was, it sounded from the rep, that they wouldn't be able to do anything.

Once they actually cancel the flight, huca till you get a rep who can reprotect you on a direct flight. I've done it this morning and many times before.

OK, thanks. Although I hope it doesn't come down to that.

Did it twice w/o HUCA. Just need it be persistent and wait for a sup if necessary.

True enough. If you're dealing with someone that sounds uninformed it may be easier to call back and get someone more competent.
