Quick question: flight is from JFK to BOS to TLV first leg is B6 and second leg is LY, does B6 checkin the luggage all the way to TLV or do we have to recheck it in in BOS?
I think in USA it always has to be rechecked

Only when you arrive to the US, not leaving.

If on one ticket bag gets rechecked and the allowance is based on the Elal ticket. When returning to the USA you have to claim and recheck as usual, but when leaving the USA the bags gets transferred

The attached is a seat map of a 777-200 on an upcoming flight EWR to FCO. Has anyone flown/experienced a similar layout before? I'm trying to figure out what the space in between the window seat and the one nearest it indicates in rows 21 and 22. Is it a blocked seat? Just dead space? Anyone?
So to report back on this, (albeit a it delayed) it was a 3 4 3 configuration, and the premium plus class was still being rolled out on this route, so the layout wasn't all that accurate on the seat map, it only updated properly the day of departure. (and I snagged a premium plus seat complimentary because there was no distinction yet at the time, it still showed up on the seat map as E+.)

I noticed that on AA there is a flight from PTY to ORD for $716 with a stopover in MIA. If I book the same flight from PTY to MIA and then MIA to ORD it will be $350 total. Is their any reason why they do this?

Just based off pricing algorithms for what they perceive as supply and demand. Just beware if you book this way, if the PTY-MIA leg is late and you miss MIA-ORD they won’t owe you anything or be obligated to get you to Chicago.

There is no way to combine the flights once booked so that won’t happen?

Thinking of getting the Citi AAdvantage card. Do we still get free 1st checked baggage if the flight is booked on a different credit card?

Why is TLV-DFW blocked for the same time as TLV-SFO?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Is there any way to book mixed cabin bookings on either Chase, Citi or Amex travel portals?

Chase is impossible. With Citi I don't know, what do they book with?
