EL AL

[Dan]

I just booked 2 seats on Elal. Need to add a lap infant. Is there any way to do this after the adult tickets are issued? I booked them on priceline who doesn't allow booking lap infants. I realize now that had i booked directly with elal i couldve included the baby in thebooking.
I took the last 2 seats at that price. Should i cancel with priceline and hope the seats come back? Or is that unlikely?
Or should i hope i manage to reach elal somehow to add the baby.? Is it even possible to add a baby to a priceline booking?

Anyone have experience with this?  Would really appreciate any input

Call El Al?

1. You can call Priceline or Elal to add the infant (they may try ping-ponging you to the other, but eventually one of them will do it)
2. For future bookings, Expedia is able to book infants.

I hope so.
Feels like such a mistake to book with priceline.
Is the elal whatsapp line available 24 hours?
Any recent dps with reaching them by phone?

Any idea if the 777 have already been retrofitted?

Right before Covid they were supposed to put the same seats as the dreamliner, at least in J. But they never got to it

I think some have been.

I was looking for a seat map on itasoftware but it looks like they removed at the 777 from the schedule

Finally reached Elal, but they wont provide a bassinet because baby will be 10 months at time of travel and they only allow until 9 months. Is there any way around this?

Can someone please explain how someone can have seats reserved in row 41, yet seatguru doesn't even have such a row - as can be seen in this link?
Thank you.

I'll check the financial statements later today, but doubt that exec meals would show up in there.

Thanks.
How did you find that?
So Setaguru isn't reliable?

[ae123]

Where can I find El Al's delayed baggage policy?
All I found was this, which doesn't state exactly how much they cover.
