No matter what date I choose and no matter which direction I depart from, there has been zero availability on Delta flights in economy from TLV to JFK. Not a single seat on any date.

Not redeeming skymiles, but rather a regular booking. They aren’t sold out for every date. Impossible.

Anyone have any explanation? Been like this all day since I checked at 10am.

I guess there's a reason for the moniker SkyPesos.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Oh I didn’t mean redeeming skymiles- I meant PAYING. There are no seats. And they aren’t sold out.

Something is wrong with your search. Try clearing cookies/searching from a different IP etc. TLV-JFK today is wide open in economy...

Nothing is wrong with my search- all I get is REFUNDABLE Main Cabin or premium economy. No matter what booking engine, no matter what date, even Delta's website- May, June, July, August. And of course, refundable is significantly more expensive. 

This is EVEN USING ITA MATRIX!

Are you seeing something else, PlatinumGuy?  A main cabin non-refundable?  No matter how I search, it bundles it with either premium economy or refundable main cabin on the TLV-JFK leg.

I see TLV-JFK-TLV May 16-June 16 on ITA or DL.com is $1245. It's refundable because of covid policies but that's on par with traditional non refundable pricing.

You're right, but I'm traveling from JFK- let me know if you see flights not starting in TLV for main cabin non-refundable- there's some glitch that seats simply don't show on the JFK-TLV-JFK search when searching round trip from JFK or one way from TLV, or show as refundable with a much higher fare.

Also, TLV-JFK-TLV prices it normally as you pointed out (but I wasn't searching for that direction). But then do a one-way from TLV. It's all farkakt.

Depends where you're originating from.  JFK-TLV-JFK doesn't show me a single non-refundable main cabin fare on the TLV to JFK leg.  Even doing a one way from TLV-JFK shows a refundable.  The only way it shows a "normal" price is TLV-JFK-TLV, but I'm not flying that way :)
