If you pay for it then no

What do you mean if I pay? vs point? I know other airlines, especiallly domestic, will cancel a double booking.

Interesting DP. My SILs Arkia flight to BCN for tomorrow is delayed by 4 hours, which would cause her to miss her self connection to AC BCN-YUL-ORD, booked on UA.
UA supervisor agreed to waive the fare difference to put her on a UA flight the next day, after verifying the story with her Arkia ticket. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Anyone know if delays these days (on Arkia) are eligible for compensation under IL or EU laws?
There’s no security threat in place, they’re just backed up from Motzei Shabbos’s cancellations.

Likely falls under exclusions for stuff out of the airlines control.
