It will not show up when searching on Etihad.com. If you search via pointsyeah.com or awardtool.com, you will be able to book LY via EY online without having to call EY.
Edit: Showing now when searching directly on etihad.

Very interesting did you actually book and works?

Not seeing anything else. Doesn't look like LY European routes are bookable IINM. And South Africa is priced like Asia so it's not cheap
showing up as a married segment (good divorce lawyer...)

Does ELAL have a dedicated check in for Premium Economy in Miami and Tel Aviv?

Some showing and some not. Whatever’s on PY is on Ethihad direct. Reverse the route for example and nothing shows on either, but still available on Alaska, delta and I’d assume ethihad by phone. Long story short, I don’t see where this method helps at all. And if it does, only for some days/directions. Definitely some that need calling still.

Is there any rhyme or reason why only some show up on their site?

No clue, but that’s definite that availability should always match Alaska or delta, right?

Not sure if this is the right place to post, if it's not sorry. 

Im looking to go to the Eretz Yisrael in March, is it worth booking on united and pray they actually go.  or suck it up and go with Elal, which will fly no matter what?

I have a El Al flight leaving JFK this week, and due to the circumstances will be arriving to the airport pretty close to the flight. Will I save myself time by not bringing luggage to check in, and go straight to security? Or I have to anyways go to the check in counter?

Same as going to the website directly, some come up and some don’t. (seemingly it’s the tlv bound that doesn’t?)
I think my question is rather what's the point of using Ethiad for LY. Is it ever cheaper than Qantas?

EY doesn't block space like QF.
