Huca.
Say you're willing to switch to direct if you get that flight, otherwise you're keeping it as is. Ask for a supervisor.Call the Israeli office


I wish that technique worked, I've been doing that ever since it was possible.


It works if you have something to offer. Once you switched to direct, they have no reason to accommodate you
No kidding. I'm talking about switching to direct, I've called many times (huca) but to no avail (for the dates I want, which to be honest are very hot season flights..).

If you want to have some fun and call elal for me and think you can convince them to switch to the flight that I want, I'd of course be grateful ;)
But as much as I've tried, gornisht gehulfen.

My flight is leaving JFK to TLV at 6pm.

Is a flight from the midwest arriving at JFK at 3:40 leaving me enough time to make the flight?

Checking luggage? Will the airline check out through for you?

Checking luggage, and I believe Delta should check it for me all the way since their new policy isn't starting until January.

Double check that they have an agreement with el Al, if they do you are fine. Just be aware since you are on separate tickets if you get delayed and miss your flight it's not the airlines fault

Even if it's an American Airlines flight?

 I know, that's why I am a bit concerned. If I get delayed I'll be stuck with no ticket.

after HUCA 5 times this morning, finally found another agent who agreed to cancel it and give me full refund. She said I may even get back the 75$ for when I upgraded, but she does not know. (probably not, Id say).

Just to update on this. I got a full refund on my credit card, including for the $75.

Anyone know how many AA miles you get for the direct flights with the new coding provided?

Does anyone know how ElAl processes the upgrade fee?
Should I put it on my Freedom?
Or on my Citi Thank you Premier?

Yup, I've been checking my specific ticket everyday and finally was eligible to put in a bid.
