EF is showing both flights all days of the week.
There are 2 flights in that image. None at 1:50pm.

Don't know what date you are traveling, on EF.com it's showing every Thursday (summer) the flight leaving at 1:50pm.

Even if it's 1:50, you can't rely on LY if it's so important to leave at that time...

Interesting question. Will my CC cover a misconnect between 2 tickets?

Either way, doesn't look like LY is going to happen.

CLE-EWR-TLV UA 77W J.

Worth trying out El Al Premium on the daytime return flight from TLV-EWR or just stick with UA J?

Can't get a head to head, it's LY Premium, not business.

The danger is an equipment change that leaves you in regular economy I know someone who it happened to recently.

Bah. Just realized the 150pm flight is 420pm on Thursdays, meaning this can't make any connecting flights :P

Was 150 - they did a schedule change to 420pm - see the date....

Code: [Select]
011/022 TC/LY 025 U 24MAY 4 TLVEWR TK3 420P 905P/ 150P 635P                     
    022 RF-REACC LY Q CR-TLVLY0550 00000000    0000   29APR1218Z
