Aren't they considered co-terminals?

For the purposes of routing and irrops, yep. Not for O/D.

And? That show's I'm right.
Quote
The issue is whether -- once ticketed -- you can change the arrival or departure airport on your itinerary without charge. (You can't, even if they are co-terminals, although I expect that some people may have gotten a waiver of the $150 change fee on occasion.)
Hence
HUCA. YMMV.

I found Matmid availability TLV-VCE, but when I called AA they say EL AL does not fly that route.

After researching it seems that its an EL AL UP flight and they are not bookable with AA.
What does ElAl UP mean?   ???

Are you sure that UP is taking away original ELAL routs?
