Elal won't allow me to pay 1$ seats for kids bc my flight was booked with Delta points. They are saying promotion only applies for flights booked directly on elal.com
Anyone have experience with this? Anyway to get them to honor it?

Interesting.
Better connectivity from Frankfurt, to be honest
Definitely.
What’s interesting is that I’ve seen tickets on that route for $800+ OW in Y.
I’d expect they price control a cheaper route like FCO or MXP.

How do I select seats when booking via Virgin Atlantic?
Cannot select online.
Booked 2 Business Class and want to get seated together.

Edit: you can do it by taking the E-ticket number and putting in the Elal Site

Help me pick meals please:


This is JFK-TLV
What's difference between the Strictly kosher Beef, Mehadrin, Mehadrin Child, and Regal?


This is TLV-JFK
I see Regal is not an option here.

Yes. They’ll just question you a bit at the gate.

Regal and Mehadrin are the same standard sealed Kosher meals, not sure why they still list both.
Strictly kosher beef is a Mehadrin meal with beef for the main.

"supervisor" is an entry-level position in any Israeli company that provides customer service in English...  ;D

DansDeals Exclusive: Matmid Program Changes And Details About El Al’s New FLY+ Choice Benefits Program!

Between mine and DW's account, we've had 10 Extra Upgrade expire every year, since it's so hard to use. (Remember that LY upgrade all of the crews' family and friends before you  :'()

I would have much rather introduce a systemwide upgrade benefit, even if they give less of them.

The rest of the program's changes is just smoke around the fact that spend requirements have increased
