Israeli covid police
The enforces are the regular check in agents. Not that that's a non issue, but very different than police.

Can I check-in luggage in 1 terminal with the same airline but my actual gate is in another terminal?
(Specifically PHL terminal A and gate is in Terminal C)

Hi - Looking to fly to Israel from NJ/NY shortly with points. Which points have the best chance of being fully refunded in the event I may need to cancel?

Hope to leave to Israel next week. Just booked. Any ideas on best way to get Covid test in USA and also in Israel when returning? I have heard they have services that will sell/send a kit and then have a service monitor the test over zoom etc and then email a certified test result that every airline accepts.
I also heard there's a similar service in Israel but we don't know anyone who has used these with AA, just UA. we are flying American both ways

eMed.com. I've used on AA exTLV.

Going to TLV there is some language in the rules that sounds like it isn't valid but in practice people have reported using them.

I booked a mileage ticket, prepaid for bags on UA. When I did online check-in, I upgraded to J. Will I automatically get my prepaid bag charge refunded or I need to chase them?

Any one have positive or negative experiences flying American JFK-TLV? Have the option of Delta vs American and there seems to be slightly better pricing and no changes for American.

Not so likely since it’s weather related. You can try calling, but have the specific flight numbers you’d like to be rebooked on, and make sure they’re available for purchase.

Qatar not showing option to purchase additional bags. Why would that be?

YUL-DOH-DAR-JRO, last leg on Precision Air, booked on Amex Travel.

Does it take some time for the option to show up? It was just booked.
