Link to form that needs to be filled out within 48 hours of flight to Israel

Accordingly, the FINAL criteria For entering Israel are as follows - you must meet ONE of these conditions in order to enter Israel:

1. Vaccinated within 180 days of the trip with either a second vaccine or a booster and it must be at least 14 days after the shot.

2. Recovered within 180 days of the trip with DIGITAL proof of a positive PCR result and more than 11 days have passed since the positive result. This type of proof only exists in the EU. The UK will likely have it as well.

3. Recovered anytime – even more than 180 days before the trip - with DIGITAL proof of positive PCR result AND vaccinated with at least one dose within 180 days of the trip. Again at the moment the digital proof only exists in the EU and possibly the UK shortly.

Your vaccination or recovery CANNOT expire while in Israel, which means you may not be in Israel more than 180 days after your vaccine or recovery have expired.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE TERMS OF ENTRY: VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA CAN MEAN SANCTIONS INCLUDING BARRING YOUR ENTRY TO ISRAEL FOR 5 YEARS.

curious, was ticket booked with UA miles or other airline?

And is new ticket Revenue or they opened saver?
UA has opened saver for me multiple times after cancellations. Takes HUCA.

I know.
My question was specifically in this situation.

Booked with UA miles (for this reason. I doubt UA would be helpful in changing a flight booked with TA)
New ticket is saver, same 75k
helpful to book with an account that has UA status. Their premiere desk agents are very helpful

thanks.

when a flight is cancelled you don't need GS to get rebooked.

You need skills to rebook more than 7 days from the cancelled flights.

Might be a result of the 2020 Chol Hamoed trips.

I was actually wondering how someone who has more miles and points than they can spend would end up getting status which depends on revenue tickets.

Already floating the idea that the airport needs to be closed for longer
I find it hard to believe schools will start opening on Feb 1 but not the airport. It would be a major paradigm shift from previous norms. There are tons of Israelis abroad and it would be a mess.

The health ministry seems to be onboard with opening some grades. New hospitalizations should go off a cliff soon IYH with vaccine effects. 92% of Covid deaths were 60+, and 80% of 60+ already got a first dose. Covid should be largely over in Israel before Purim.
