I booked a El Al ticket on Friday morning for Sunday night flight, on Priceline. It clearly said free cancellation within 49 hours which is up to the departure time (unfortunately I didn't make a screenshot).

I checked the reservation now on Sunday and it says your free cancellation window closed Saturday night !!


I called Priceline who confirmed that my contract says like I originally had seen but would have an issue processing the cancellation. She escalated the case. I took her name and case number and was advised to call back in an hour.

this just happened today so no refund yet

You are eligible for a refund for your reservation. Refund amount of 902.49 USD. We will work privately with the airline to secure reimbursement, but we’re going to deliver the refund to you in the meantime. There’s no reason you should be forced to wait.

We are happy to have helped you resolve this matter. Your refund will be processed to the payment method you used to book this trip, and you can expect to receive it within 3 weeks.

Nice, Please report back. @Danlover111 did you use him? I see you recommended him after asking about him. @Hershelsdeals did you get someone to pull strings?

Why are you pressuring him?

If he doesn't want to say he doesn't have to.

Trying to change a ticket.
In the process, it doesn't show seat selection on available flights.
The flight show sold out on Elal

Is there any other way for me to see available seats?

Can you still use king david lounge if flying out of terminal one.  El al ticket on sun dor.
Do you check in first and then go to terminal 3.  How does it work.

I purchased an economy ticket and I have free class upgrades. I also have the options to upgrade to first class for 40k points + $550 or premium econ 7500 points + $150.

1. I know economy sux, is premium worth upgrading no matter what?
2. is this price worth the upgrade to first class?
3. Should I take a chance on getting a free upgrade to prem econ or prebook?

Which route? Long haul or short haul?

Assuming your talking about a long haul flight to NY-
I flew 2 weeks ago in premium was fine.
The price they are asking for biz is expensive it usually goes for 17.5/28k + $380.
There's a very slim chance of getting upgraded for free these days.
