I'm booking a Virgin Atlantic flight to Israel through the Delta website. If it gets cancelled would they be able to put me on an El Al flight or do they only do that for actual Delta flights?

Thanks

If basic economy doesn't show when searching online with points, would calling help anything?

Does it make sense that the cut basic economy on short domestic flights?

I'm booking a Delta flight to Cleveland (hi @Dan) this weekend Sep 27-29 and the roundtrip is $428 but when search one-ways its $405 each way! Whats happening?

I am seeing this on all carriers for non-stop flights on those dates and checked Skiplagged and not any cheaper using a hidden city....so its not a specific Cleveland thing.

Are there now instances when domestic roundtrip fares are cheaper then one-ways....back to the old days?

Recently saw a multi city come out cheaper than individually booked one way

I skimmed through the post and I don’t see a cancellation policy if you want to cancel a booked Delta international flight booked with Delta points. Can someone please provide? I am not looking for a policy if they cancel, rather I book a Delta flight (on Delta, with Delta points with ELAL as the airline) Ty

cs are correct, they can be changed or you can take travel credit [for existing passenger only] but they are probably non refundale

What ended up happening?
I just got charged $25.80. TLV-WAS 70k award ticket (on LY.)
Will I have issues at the time of flight?

Just to follow up, I was charged $25.80 for a lap child and flew no problem. This was on an award ticket flying El Al from TLV to JFK and onwards with DL to WAS round trip.
This was the cheapest I ever paid for a lap infant. Also was an incredible rate for this itinerary during these times. (Thank you @sylk for the smooth transaction to make it possible!)

How do I extend a delta e credit? I read online but I am confused on what to do.

How do I extend a delta e credit? I read online but I am confused on what to do.

buy a flight with the credit that's slightly more expensive (even by a few cents.) Cancel  after the 24 hr period and and you'll have a flight new credit good for a year. It's also a way to combine credits if you a lot of small credits

[Shegold]

If I cancel after the 24 hours wouldn’t I incur a fee? Do I need to buy a refundable ticket? Thanks!!
