It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Fixed that for you

He may be asking why it USED to be the best bet and not anymore.

If he didn't mean that, then it's my question :) why ?

I've personally booked many NYC-TLV LY J but it sounds from SI that the problem is now only TLV-HKG/BKK/PEK

I have had trouble getting any ly ticket with aa booked and I tried many dates.
I sure hope they will fix it soon.
(But I wonder whether after the merger with us airways is complete it would still be possible as in a certain sense they will be competing)

So for El Al it's only El Al point or maybe/at-point AA but nothing else?

Then is my best best for best price on El Al to use the search engines (kayak, vayama) ?
