Let's ask his question in a different form.

Can you credit today thier flights to a different program like you use to be able to credit thier flights to American Airlines?
Airlines sending me "We're in this together" emails.

Bruh, where were you when my suitcase weighed it 51.50 pounds?

Does anyone know, To get elal executive status by transferring 5K Amex points to matmid, do I have to be a silver memer or even if i'm just a regular matmid member without any status would it still work?
Thanks

Can someone please tell me what everyone has against elal here?
My friend is chartering an elal flight this week and speaks to the big guys daily.

I am curious what elal would answer.

One thing that I don't understand, each time I flew Elal, F was empty, no need for 8 seats if window doesn't have aisle access.

We're Jews, so we're allowed to be anti Semitic.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Dan spoke once for an hour I think with one of the big guys and got no where. Don't even waste your time. They honestly think that the Matmid system is the best FF system in the industry.

I bash them also but many here that bash Elal premium class never flew it. There seems to be an excitement in it. Its mostly the attitude they give off. I would say LY J was better then UA J IMO.

I can only speak for myself, and to some it up in one word: Attitude!

Now if we wanted to elaborate a little more, it's starts with the negative attitude many frum people experienced from ELAL, it continues with the apparent arrogance of ELAL which conveys the subliminal message of "you should thank us for being here" rather than "what can we do to serve you". Also ELAL flights tend to have (understandably) a high percentage of Israelis, so one might also get some negative experience there (on the plus side, one can have the opportunity to interact with a jew that knows little or nothing about Yiddishkeit and have a positive influence on that jew).

I can only contrast the attitude displayed towards me when I went for my father's levaya on ELAL, with the attitude I got from BA (and to the best of my knowledge, the British don't have such a reputation as אוהבי ישראל) when I landed at JFK on a Friday afternoon. I can only say that ELAL has rightfully earned my years long ban.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
