Talking about last week. Not one seat available. They added flights. And thise were packed as well. If you need a ticket, don’t recommend waiting to the last minute

B"H! ;D

4 different friends went on different days last two weeks and all said that appeared to be some 10+ empty seats on the way there
and way back appeared to be a bit more empty seats.
Just checked matrix for 9 passengers and pretty much had availability every day next 3 weeks.
Regardless my point wasn't if they are full or not, was rather that the prices went up 60% and it is not because they are oversold.
I am not trying to imply price gouging as the whole airline industry is one big price gouge when they can (algorithms...etc).

All LY meals are "regular kosher." There is no supervision after they leave the kitchen and they aren't double wrapped for warming.

So practically speaking, no difference between the two from a kashrus perspective?

I’m asking because I’m in the air right now and didn’t think to reserve a “strictly kosher” meal…

Statement from the OU to DansDeals,

"El-Al meals from New York are certified in the commissary only, but due to the way they are served, it is recommended to order a Regal Meal. The Orthodox Union does not certify the planes."

They don't have any extras? Are you in Y or J?
They're supposed to...

That's what the airline told me. If you have proof that it's not I can go back to them.

I wish LY would maintain that system for good. Allowed me to earn 5x through Amex Plat, versus my usual 1-2x when paying the agency.  ::)
