Do you know is this only when booking direct with airline, or also if booking thru other portals ?

I've seen many days they have one ways for $436 on Capital one travel, but on Arkia's website its double.

If flight is delayed prior to flight are you eligible for compensation?

I got the same email for a different date.

What is the rationale for doing this?
Original flight was an afternoon flight and changed to an ungodly hour in middle of the night.

Likely wet lease staffing issues i would presume.
