i've just received my first voucher from LY.
It was for tickets which were booked as points + cash, so instead of getting the points back without bonus, I preferred getting a $ voucher with the 25% bonus.

The voucher number works as a credit card. Can be used multiple times, can be 'transferred' to someone else (are we opening a new thread of LY Vouchers for sell??

)

Sources inform Globes that the proportion of people asking for a voucher instead of cash refund is higher than what LY had anticipated.

Shows the high level of confidence people have in the airline

Good to know you can count on some things staying the same in 2020.

I'm scheduled to fly with them next week BH.
Can't say I wasn't aware of the risks

I bet the CEO's kids (who are back from BOS) went to vacation in Greece or something.

Israeli lockdowns forbid people from going beyond a certain distance from their homes, as long as it's within the borders. So one can't go from Jerusalem to Tzfas, but is allowed to go to MIA or LAX.

Incorrect. They're asking people at the airport for proof that they purchased their flight before September 25. I'm not saying it's impossible to forge a ticket for an earlier date, but they're definitely making it very unpleasant to fly.

My sister flew DL JFK-TLV last week and had 15 people on the flight. Unbelievable for the week before Sukkos!
