ELAL Questions Master Thread
« Reply #140 on: June 20, 2016, 08:23:36 PM »
Daughter is flying on El Al BOS-TLV end of August. Can someone tell me how to find out if flight will be El Al metal and El Al service vs. Privilege Style? Dan published a table a few months ago (see link below) but I don't know where it came from (el al website but I can't find) or how I can find one for future flights.  Thanks.

Got stuck on 777. Is the 1st row in J (the bulkhead) any better than the rest of the seats?

is it the new configuration with 3 rows of business class in the first section and 2 in the second section or the old configuration with 2 rows in the first section and 3 in the second section

Just flew tlv to newark.  Stewardesses were extremely pleasant and friendly.
Both my entertainment system and my daughters did nit work.  Stewardess tried to reset but did not work.  Who should I write to to complain and what compensation is possible?

I got a Elal voucher of $250

It says non transferable, does that really mean i can't book for someone else?

And if not, can I pay the taxes of an award ticket with it?

I don't know about retro credit, but IINM SAA (*A) and QF (OW) are both ELAL partners.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Ended up earning miles for the whole thing, including the part operated by LY, and getting the fly business to europe promo and fly AA business long-haul promo. Also worked out to be very well timed, because AA is shifting to the revenue based system at the end of the month.

When I look for a roundtrip, one option is: Economy – special fare *limited edition, which is slightly cheaper. I remember seeing months ago people were talking about this but didn't pay much attention... Can anyone fill me in now?

thanks
