Ok sounds like better to bid $400 few days before, can the upgrade be with points somehow? Would chase be able to upgrade it with UR ?

[YOSSI170]

Ya. HJK are the only ones bookable in advance. The others free up to a week ahead

I think you either have to call or WhatsApp the Israeli number

Tried again now still no dice... They don't wanna budge

No

BH. Another step towards שמירת שבת. Cancelling a flight that might depart after Shabbos, but requires check-in on Shabbos.

I booked a ticket through ultimate rewards
Is there any way to transfer the ticket to Elal
That they can make changes?

This was promised to me 3 years ago

Any idea if doing check in affects whether bid for upgrade goes through?

It has no impact

[shmooz]

Have 380 matmid points expiring Aug 31 with no plans to fly before then, is there any way to extend, or, do they have any use?

Are you better off spending money on elal to earn statues  then united ?  it cost only around  17,000  to earn platinum statues  and united  cost 24,000 for 1k, and elal has a bigger chance of getting upgraded, less people have statues on elal then united. Its difficult to get upgraded on united because  everyone these days seems to have statues and plus points?

If your flying mostly elal routes perhaps, tho no decent cc partnership yet so..

Seems like Elal flight 025 from TLV-EWR was diverted to VIE 30 minutes ago. Not sure why

Should we open a flight diversions master thread?

Its not a regular flight, its a flight Motza Lag beomer with 95% Heimishe American people.
I hear the (silent) owner of Elal from Monsey is on that flight too...

I hear your point.
I didn’t mean that it’s not worth the point. With full seriousness I think it’s a good idea to open a dedicated thread for flight diversions (at the ones that have interesting stories or are relevant to DDF readers.

[nussenmenachem]

Darryl?

no, Kenny R. He was actually the medic that treated the patient till they landed.

BTW the plane is now enroute to EWR, B"H.
