Apparently LY briefly unveiled the new Matmid devaluation on its website before removing it.

Looks like PL requires 15k diamonds instead of 12k - 25% more

Screenshots?

I'm just surprised it's not the full 30%: https://www.dansdeals.com/more/news/airline-news/el-al-sets-the-stage-for-potential-matmid-status-devaluations-and-removes-soft-landings-but-will-add-choice-benefit-and-expanded-lifetime-status-program/

Is this effective 1/1/25?

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Haven't seen it myself

Hearing TP 36k instead of 28k, so that would be 29% deval

IINM it would be effective from September

What’s the cheapest award option for LY J?

Is VS 40% the best option at 150k right now?

That’s great.
I’ve also seen flights to/from places like FCO and MXP for even cheaper than that.

Re. an LY ticket (Y) booked through QF: If a pax has a 7am flight, but would really like to be on the earlier flight of 12am (obviously no mileage availability), is there a way for them go on any sort of standby/wait-list for the earlier flight?

TIA

Prob also a result of additional seats on the LCA route via AirHaifa... so less need for "price control" on the route
