I played broken telephone with them about 1.5 months ago. My trip is next week and they're telling me they're not offering it anymore. Has anyone had any recent success with changing tickets for $75 and I should keep playing HUCA or should I just be happy and go on my trip?

try US office

israel office seem to think the party seem to think the party is over

Maybe I should count my blessings. After weeks of nothing, the dates I wanted to stay @ the dead sea opened for 3k a night.

Sure enough, Dan is on the money!

El Al's operating profit soars 151%

So far so good.

Did anybody receive the $75 voucher for future travel from making the change to direct? Is it name specific? Can it be transferred/sold?

Isn't this third quarter? None of the flights were during third quarter, so only their sales would be reflected, not operating costs (not saying they will lose, just saying this filing has nothing to do with it)
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Depends on their revenue recognition policies. Some companies recognize income when they can answer when and how much- which was answered in 3Q. (amount which was already paid, and the date are pretty much locked in with the exception of a bunch of people trying to change).

Don't the operating costs have to be included? Seeing as those flights are flying any way, regardless of if the cheap flyers are on that flight or not?
I have nothing witty to write here....

Not receiving a $75 voucher but a refund for my cancellation.  However, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for processing the refund.

Just check credit card account.  Received refund for both the $75 (to change to non stop on El Al) and $338 for Mistake Fare (JFK to TLV).  Refund request date - November 16, 2012

Any luck recently cancelling for free and getting back the $75 change fee ?

How much would it be to add a infant in lap to one of these tickets ?

I spoke with elal israel and they said $250 change fee and they stopped doing for free 1 month ago.
