let us know, how they reprotect you

[chucksterace]

United just cancelled both flights today.

Love UA's excuse  - "Canceled due to aircraft availability" Do they mean no aircraft available with antimissile device. 

[jr611]

flying BA on monday to LHR then onto JFK. You think they'll cancel too?

The reason American carriers canceled was due to an FAA regulation, it is up to the British or European equivalent to determine.

Trip to USA on delta to visit grandparents on Aug 10... pray for me!! And the soldiers of course

Supposedly the FAA didnt give any regulation YET. IT was up to the airlines.

"WH says FAA has not issued any noticed regarding flights over Mideast airspace, individual carriers make own decisions - Reuters"

[burryhood]

When united cancelled flights - is that only UNITED or including partner flights too?

[travel agent]

only direct flights to TLV

[Mech]

I have a flight on motzai shabbos leaving tlv to jfk on Aeroflot via Russia. I doubt they will cancel. It doesn't make a difference to them if they shoot down their own planes or Hamas does it for them

Wow.

[Ergel]

If you want to fly and El Al is flying. Call your carrier and they should rebook you on El Al

[bobby]

Mr bro is scheduled to fly Lufthansa tomorrow morning from TLV to NYC on a united mileage ticket. He can switch his ticket to a Swiss ticket leaving around the same time. Odds are who cancels first- Lufthansa or Swiss?

[DovtheBear]

I'm supposed to fly Delta on Motzei Shabbos. I'd rather fly ELAL on Sunday, so I'm taking your advice. On hold now.

UPDATE: FAA orders US airlines not to fly to or from Israel's Ben Gurion Airport "for a period of up to 24 hours"
Per ABC.

[yitzf]

BA and CA still flying

[chucksterace]

@idfelite: The FAA has suspended all US flights to and from Tel-Aviv for 24 hours
