Looks like it. But maybe it's only for TP
Doubt it  ;)

Speaking about the TP upgrade voucher, is there a market these days?
During the pandemic they were worthless given that J was cheaper than Y - but haven't been checking lately

Does elal have a phone number to speak to someone about status matching? They take very long to respond to emails if they do...

I always advise against using OTAs. When something goes wrong, or you need to make changes or cancel, OTAs are often hard to reach, they charge fees for things that are free, and they will give you a hard time for basic things.

I believe Dan mentioned in a post not so long ago that you can cancel all el al international flights (nyc-Tlv) now for a $100 penalty? is that in all classes?

also do they offer fully refundable tickets?

IINM if you are silver and also have the fly card, you are entitled to 3 requests to be waitlisted for a Space Seat (and one request for a one-class upgrade), to be cleared at check on a space available basis

If the flight was to/from the US, there's no such thing as basic economy. If it's to/from EU, it doesn't have to do with the fare class. Lite or classic can be branded with any fare class.

Ask your TA. Or if you booked online, you can try WhatsApping El Al to add it.
