if you got a confirmation you should file a complaint with the DOT

A confirmation # does not mean anything was sold. I don't really want to make a big deal about it it is not good for business. i didn't get in on it and Ill just wait for the next round. Technology has yet to show that they can prevent fare mistakes.

LOL! I did mention DDF the first time but I don't control what is written. I'm not making a stink about this.

With that conf. number I went to expedia and found my reservation number and then headed over to elal and found my e-ticket.

From VosIzNeias
. According to Sheryl Stein, Media Director at El
Al, the incredibly low prices were due to a
pricing error that was introduced by a third
party who posts the fares for the airline.
“When any airline files fares, they get filed to
an outside company who posts the fares,”
Stein told VIN News. “We filed our fares and
the outside company neglected to add in the
fuel surcharges. The mistake was theirs, not
ours.”
Is this their way of getting out of the new DOT rules

And now this from Yeshiva World,
"The link was being emailed around, and spread
like wildfire all morning. YWN received close to
100 emails asking us to publish the link for
people to jump on the cheap fare.
YWN immediately reached out to our contacts
at El Al, and were informed that there was a
serious error taking place, and asked that we
not publish the link until further investigation
by El Al officials took place."
That's the end of yeshiva world for me.

If El Al decides not to honor it can we go after the travel site we booked on?

I am guessing yes because on DOt it says that the travel site is responsible to

oh now it starts! maybe mods should cosider a diff thread for all questions not related directly to the actual deal booking/cancelations etc.
otherwise we'll just have tonz of those questions from peep who saw this deal on the main site

Mordy788 · « **Reply #114 on:** August 06, 2012, 06:19:36 PM »

There is no way that one can change the names on these tickets, right?

Maybe call back everyday and change one letter saying I'm not changing the name. It was just a simple spelling mistake.
