I don't get the bassinet obsession. We used it once on CO when Rafi was 5 months old. He was already pretty much too big for it.

Every time the seatbelt sign was turned on, we had to wake him up and hold him.

I mean, I guess it's better than nothing, but still. Car seat FTW from both a safety and convenience perspective.

Pretty sure no companion benefits
Why would they offer it to LY elites if LY doesn't offer it to theirs

Does El Al allow companions to check in with member using the premium checkin counter in TLV (I have status, companions don't)

El al website says you can convert amex to matmid, but amex website has no such feature. Is this a possible thing to do?

So i guess there is no practical way to get matmid without paying for airfare?

Nice, positive article about the airline and their turnaround.

Thanks, also generally speaking what will happen with this seating chart? This flight is in 3 days and stlll 10 seats open. Any chance they get released to partners or do they always end up getting booked? Also why do i see 30 open seats in economy but says economy unvailable to purchase (theyre in the front section like the extra space seating)

Seats not being selected, and space on the flight have nothing with one another.

The highest fare is fully refundable, the others are not.
If you didn't add the protect option.

Additional "suitcase" from ewr-tlv pricing at $185 at check-in
Is this the regular price?
