Intresting LY 3001 TLV IAH

LY3001 from Tel Aviv to Houston:

Elal flies numerous flights a week to the US for cargo. No reason to get excited every time you see a departure.

Not sure if the 'rescue' flight from Toronto was mentioned already..
I don't see the point of the flight from JFK, since UA has daily flights, but I guess they have an empty plane to fill up

On the topic of getting a refund for a cancelled elal flight. Everyone is suggesting a DOT complaint and a chargeback. I booked my elal flight with chase reserve points. Whenever I call chase to do a chargeback they say that there’s no “charge” to chargeback as it was booked with points and they cant give me back my points until the airline authorizes the refund???

Any advice?

considering their current situation, what do people think about buying elal tix for pesach next year (they are now available)? obviously im scared of a bankruptcy where i somehow lose my tix (i dont know whether FAA or someone would help me there). I'm heavily leaning no, but their prices are still nice before they go to the mainstream sites (still stuck at only March 2021 flights).

I'm not excited by any single flight.
Just trying to highlight the fact that all 787 and 777 are being utilized almost full time. So them claiming that they are shut down / 95% of employees on unpaid leave / don't have money to reimburse customers, is hutzpa

idiots. Of course there is a charge. They, Chase, just refunded it on their end. They never voided the approval code etc.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

It means that when you use chase points, chase is paying the airline cash, not points. They can charge back just as one could when using a credit card.

@Dan  you called it a while ago!

They have the hutzpa to pretend that it's due to current travel restrictions that they decided to announce today that they are postponing flights until May 30th...
