Can you comment on the U.S. credit card offering? Why are they not opening apps to the general public?  Will they consider any of the value-add suggestions I made, like adding a pair of lounge passes?
They know the product is not competitive. Can't say much more than that for now.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

For one thing, my understanding is the JFK lounge won’t reopen

I wish I had better news or that I could share actual details, of which there's quite a lot.

My problem is multifold, my time/headspace is valuable, I'm not willing to make aliya at this point in my life (though I'd be open to commuting for a period of time), I would want at least some level of automony to make changes or at least be on board with people who understand the need to innovate, adapt, and take risks to win big.
from the way u are talking it seems like it is a serious option???
the dan lounge may take on a new meaning?

KD TLV is what would matter most honestly, considering most people are not flying one ways and will end up getting to use the lounge there (and by definition the passes) even if JFK is closed.

I have direct lines to all of the people at the top, so you can keep posting in the thread I opened.
Any idea what's happening with the MoU they signed with Ethiad and Gulf Air?

Who needs that to open? They had the nastiest reps known to mankind.
It's worth calling the Israeli call center, even if their English (some reps) is far from perfect.

Brings back memories of the NY call center...

El Al is the sabra of airlines. They are prickly on the outside – a bit rough with customers and not the best with customer service – but they have heart of gold, or at least a rich history and unwavering commitment to bringing Jews to and from the Promised Land

Anyone know the current cancellation policy for LY? Are they still giving vouchers that work for anyone? Can I get a voucher for a booking made with a voucher?
