It's very nice how much this El Al tzaddik frum yid is exploiting the situation and raking in the profits from hiking the prices of tickets to Israel to highest ever.
הפקעת שערים בשעת מלחמה for greed purposes.
Supply and demand bla bla.
Please convince me otherwise.
We can't convince you of anything, you have your opinion already.
The fact is: Until this war is over and settled, anyone who flies in or out of Israel on a non israeli airline is doing this with full knowledge of the real risk that there may be an escalation and his airline may cancel his flight and leave him stranded. (As a matter of fact, my sister is currently in EY and her flight today was canceled and rebooked for after 9Bav)
ELAL has no need moral or otherwise to save you from your decision to save a few bucks and fly on united or Luftunsa and give you a cheap ticket today. They are the "blue and white" flag carrier for one reason: They will keep flying no matter what. Their more expensive ticket includes something not included in other airlines tickets: a certainty that the flight will happen.
And as a PSA: If you are planning on traveling for sukkos, be aware that there might be an escalation then, and your non ELAL flight may be canceled... Don't book Delta or United or European stopover now and cry then that your flight is canceled and you need to get home, and don't you know people have regular lives... Chacham Einav Berosho.
