Funny, came to this thread for the exact same question. I see Elal Premium is $200 more than Delta and trying to ascertain which one is better.

El Al is better but don't think it's $200 better

Trying to book a flight to Israel going after Pesach and returning for next Pesach. The ticket says it expires a year after the purchase date. Does that mean it’ll be impossible to change to a date beyond that? Any workaround?

Could be you booked a flight that was delayed or something else like that without knowing. Usually that means they sent your entire flight that money or it means you had a little gift for yontif

Trying to book a seat for baby on points in Flying Blue for a delta ticket, air france only show a choice to book award seats for adults or kids 2-11, is there an issue if i try to book the 2-11 with an earlier birthday? Alternative is to call and buy direct from delta and pay the full major cash payout, but anyone with experience as to whether delta would say the ticket is invalid if the birthday is 2 years ahead/wouldnt adjust it? (i posted this in the skyteam search tips thread, but maybe more appropriate here.)

Just put in an older birthday since you're paying for the seat. Birthdays don't have to match.

Basic economy in the US booked via skymiles. Is it free to cancel and get the miles redeposited after 24 hours?

But also beware, ive flown motz shabbos a few times, and I found there were many times that either clear of TSA pre was not open which could be not good for that little window. So good luck
