No. And they have flights scheduled on Shabbos IINM.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Make sure the "Only show flights and prices with available seats" box is checked.

I was responding to the one who said his dates weren't available on Expedia. Not helpful enough to know that the box is checked by you.

Btw, both these flights you chose are the old UA configuration. Most prefer the LY Dreamliner over that aircraft. Also, why would you use a agency like flightnetwork when you can book the same thing on Priceline, Orbitz or Expedia?

Yeah, I always thought Cobalt was on the up and up.  They had just introduced a real business class, and even a type of frequent flyer club (only benefits, no mileage...).

ELAL doesn't have flights scheduled on Shabbos (which doesn't mean that they are not mechallel Shabbos, but it obviously does have some value).
I challenge you to bring a quote from @Dan that says that ELAL has regular flights SCHEDULED on Shabbos.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
