I'm thinking I MIGHT switch just because I am coming from the mid-west and will have two stopovers otherwise.

On the other hand I'd like to earn more miles and I'd rather not have to fork over more $$ so I may just stay with what I originally booked.

DEC-11 - DEC 30

When are you guys travelling?

Why do we only get half the amount of miles with Elal?

if its $75 pp pw, its an extra $300 for me - i dont see why we should

I would like to change my return flight to a non stop.

Does anybody know if they will be flexible with the dates allowing me to stay an additional day or 2?

I would imagine for a lot of people paying extra would not be worth it.

For those folks booked with many young children or coming from a different city I can see them changing to the non-stop more easily.

+1 We thought about it but for $300 decided against it.

I'm coming from la. If they let me switch to the lax tlv nonstop, I'd pay an extra 150 rt on top of the requested 150.
for now, I'm kind of excited to stop in Zurich for 5 hours. As for the return, 2 1/2 hours in London is just a waste of time in the airport.

Wow- that would be awesome if they did allow that.

Curious as to why only via email, wouldn't that be a big hassle, of going back and forth which times and flights?
And why are they making you wait until the 14th? Should I try emailing them b4?

Shmelly · « **Reply #13 on:** August 09, 2012, 07:45:48 PM »

If I'm able to do any touring in 5 hours in Paris or 7 hours in London I'll keep the stopovers. If that's not enough time to do anything I''ll change them to directs. Any advice?

Moishy36 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 09, 2012, 07:48:47 PM »

for london you might be just fine - but you dont have too much time.
its like 35minutes into central london by subway - so you can have time for a few things

paris im not sure

They are making $150!!

450 for me flying with 2 kids is it worth it
I can't decide

I think I'm going to switch just the way to Israel not the way back.
