Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I am flying with my family (2 small children) from YYZ to TLV on Elal. They fly the 767, and it is supposed to be a less than stellar experience. I was wondering if anyone has had success getting upgraded on Elal  just by asking nicely, and if you have a contact that you have reached out to? I know this is probably an insane question, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks in advance!

Ridiculous that they don't offer one way flights. What century are they in?

why would you want a one way international flight. It will be more expensive than a round trip. Just book a RT and throw out the leg you do not need

Tried getting window and isle seats. There was an empty seat in the middle. El Al told me they can't give me those seats. They said some reason about it being a courtesy to families with children. Anyone hear of this?

Let me rephrase, they do it's just $300 more than a one around trip

I book Swiss, lh, ua, Austrian with points all the time. Truth is I don't know if they sell one way because I never pay cash, but El Al points isn't an eitza either...

those airlines will all be the same for cash bookings. And there are lots of airlines that only allow RT redemptions and not only one way

IINM ELAL allows you to bid (or pay a predetermined price) for upgrades. They might even allow it once on board for a fee if there are seats available. I highly doubt one can get upgraded (especially with children) just for asking nicely.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
