Makes sense. They may as well find out about price mistakes ASAP.
Block them  :) @Dan

I randomly came across the "Followed by El Al USA" on Dansdeals' Twitter...

Not sure if this is recent or if I never paid attention
Airlines are upping their game in catching price mistakes in real time

Booked LY award through Qantas left out middle name. Is that going to be an issue?

You never need middle name for tickets

By Elal you can skip the middle name, but by some LCC and Asian carriers it might be an issue

I sell ELAL revenue daily, I have never had an issue. (Revenue different? I don't think so)

Anyone know what the current charges are for wifi between ewr & tlv?
Does the basic plan allow for video on wattsap?

'Social' covers browsing and videos up to 3mn and cost $15 for the entire flight.
'Business' is $25 and covers everything

So on top of this Qantas showed the 789 and now its booked on the 772. Dont really have proof because the 789 only showed on the Qantas search page and its now been switched to the 772 even on the search page.

How bad is the 772? Is it really Angle-flat?

No WiFi, 2-3-2 layout. Angle flat versus flat...

It's really angle flat.. I had no issue with it for years (with whisky and sleeping pills) but once you get used to the 789 it's hard to go back

Havent been on an angle flat in 10 years. I see this flight number LY 12 is not frequently flown. Any idea if I have a chance in Hell of them switching back to 789? Or a chance to get Qantas or LY to switch me to the EWR flight or the later JFK flight?

Isn't there a general rule that equipment isn't guaranteed?

If there's award space on another flight they should switch you.
If not, good luck.
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.

Equipment change usually allows you to cancel. Not that I want to cancel.

Not a seat in the house. Texting with Qantas now so will see what they come up with.

How do I reserve seats and Regal Meals?

If the flight is in the near future, it was likely due to damage that just happened this weekend in LAS to one of the Dreamliners. Multiple flights this week were switched to the 777 in addition to changes in schedule.

If LY has X class on the same date as your flight (and not showing on QF), you can "try" calling El Al (Israel), and see if they'd allow you to change with their "same day change" policy. If they send you to QF, explain that QF has limited access.

Also, in general, some of my clients specifically prefer the 777 because it's much more spacious. Just not as private, though.
