What fare classes are the new and old segments?
There is an exchange fee when you change fate classes even to a lower one
Additionally it can be there are different fares for different days

Looks like one way would be a different fare class m vs k

Different fares, I'm saying I checked the fare and it is less than what I booked
Don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers

Are you sure it isn't the same for the same class?

You can't book exEU ticket on ElAl with Chase Travel as a classic fare that includes baggage? It only offers the lite fare.

Any tips on how to change it. Calling Chase didn't help. ELAL doesn't want to change it, and therefore they don't want to allow me to add the Protect add on to it.

Never tried however,
Did the agent on the phone sound competent?
Maybe they didn't know how to price a branded fare and made it up?

I've never had good experiences with Chase Travel agents. What should I be asking them to book? On the portal it shows up as Economy. The equivalent in ELAL terms is the Lite fare. I want the Classic fare.

Don't know what system they are using
Try "base rate classic" or "brclassic"

If I want to buy LY ticket with a voucher, is there any advantage or disadvantage to using an agent over booking online?

Do you need to go to the check in counters for prescreening if you aren't checking in a bag?

In TLV you can go to the screening in area W, dedicated to people who only have carry-ons.

Outside of Israel you don't need to - you'll then have the screening at the gate. You do need a boarding pass to go through TSA
