I booked for my mom and booked the ticket as Susie but name on the passport is Susan. I booked through Cheaptickets and this would be under their policy for "minor" changes. She called and tried to change but El Al wouldn't do it. Any advice?

+1 Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Anyone get charged (besides the $1).

I booked Expedia.

Yes - I also booked on Expedia, but the charge was from EL AL.

If I check elal's website all my flights have "recorded" status. Yet I only have a $1 pending charge from expedia.

Reason to worry?

Anyone having trouble cancelling via Expedia? It gives me an error online so I called in and they cancelled it for me. It is still showing online though, any reason to worry?

Is this a one-way?

I wonder why that worked for that price.

I only tried roundtrip from TLV. Oh well!

Personally I don't think so but no one really knows. I'd just sit back and wait patiently at this point.
