my brother in law who made a aliyah a few years ago and is an american and israeli citizen, he was supposed to fly from TLV to JFK on a cheapoair ticket in american basic economy a few weeks ago. at the time, israel was not allowing citizens to leave the country due to covid. I was hoping the flight would be cancelled , unfortunately it was not cancelled. He has contacted cheapoair and they say american basic economy tickets are non refundable and he is stuck. Any thoughts on his options here? thanks
