I booked on Sat nite 12/24 and requested on 1/1 (the next Sunday). I assumed that's enough time to report. Maybe the US holidays changed when the ticket reports?
Still no voucher - but I do get this message when trying to look up the booking on elal.com using the confirmation number, although it still shows as active in the Amex portal. So I guess there's some progress?

If I paid for extra legroom and then bid for an upgrade what happens to the 100.00 paid for the extra legroom seat?

Got my voucher today. Requested 1/1, got it 1/10. It replaced 2 tickets - so perhaps that's what caused it to be delayed.

also had that confusion. As I understand it, ONLY priority pass holders have access between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

because it still stays a lite fare, your paying to change the flight, not the fare type
i'm only changing the ticket to flex not anything else

Is there a way to choose a seat on El Al for economy tickets booked through Qantas miles?

To clarify, If I now book a ticket in my own name CDG-TLV in business, will I be able to change that for free to an economy ticket on another route (NYC- TLV) for myself?

Would you buy a $99 upgrade for an economy SPACE seat or is it a waste of money? (from NYC to TLV). Any recommendations would be appreciated.

i am quite tall i started off flight to LA (15 h) in regular seat which was very good for economy, then someone asked me to change to space seat, was totally different slept like never before and put my daughter to sleep on the floor, she slept for 9 hours. I know it is against regulations but nobody told me anything
