Is there a limit to how much luggage you can take?

Does anyone know if the El Al Upgrade bid system allows bids up until 24 hours from the originating /connecting flight, or from the actual El Al flight itself? In other words, I'm flying into LA on Delta to connect with El Al from LAX-TLV. The originating flight is 6 hours ahead of the El Al flight. Is my bid limited to 24 hours before the originating flight or can I still try 24 hours before the actual El Al flight? TIA

I am trying to reach ELAL about a flight change (they initiated) and have been waiting for their WhatsApp to respond for hours. Any idea of the best way to reach them?

+1-800-223-6700 you can reach the Philippines desk quicker, supposedly semi competent. If you call the Israeli Hebrew desk would be better

This does not make sense, my ticket says $110 for 2nd bag, I paid $130 at airport. $185 can't be for 2nd bag.

And today there is still no sign of anything so I followed up again . Keep in mind the original date of loss was 6/5.

B'H I finally, finally got the deposit from them on Shabbos, yet with a $15 "domestic incoming wire fee" from chase $:-\$

Any way to get EL AL to refund back to my card instead of a voucher if I cancel?

You can take the voucher and resell it for a small discount on the forum

Bh it cleared, 9k +150

Just had a very good experience again with ELAL, (LY14) was able to book $995 direct one way, upgrade to premium for 7500 matmid points per person.

We live in Baltimore but travel to EY for the summer and Tishrei. We hadn't flown El Al for 14 years due to a bad experience and loved United.... until they stopped flying. So we tried El Al and we were very pleasantly surprised. It looks like we will be flying with them for the foreseeable future. So obviously I am trying to get status and diamonds. We have an Israeli bank account so we can get a Fly Card premium Or since we live in america, we can be part of the executive circle. The problem is I really can't get much details on that, and although we recently qualified for silver, they still haven't contacted me with any details. You cannot be in the executive circle and get benefits while holding a fly card. Does anybody have a recommendation as to which we should pursue? Does anybody know what the perks of the executive circle are?

I have a El AL NYC-TLV flight upcoming, I know that these flights are overbooked, I can not afford to be bumped off the flight, is not checking in a suitcase making a bigger chance to being bumped off?

Any recommendations on how to avoid it?

Or maybe it's just on hold by alot of TA and it gets released before the flight
