Schedule for the flight.

Thanks.
Looks like the Matmid launch price is 1,500 points + $250 for Executive

Would have figured LY 17 would be a night flight. I guess not...

It is a night flight, leaving at 1am landing at 8am.

seems like the plane will be on the ground in MIA from friday 8am till saturday 10.45pm

isn't that considered a terrible utilization of their planes (not that I see them having another choice)

Considering LY doesn't operate on Shabbos, not really.
Probably also negotiated lower parking fees from MIA in exchange for the route.

Totally different market, and no way one could compare JFK & EWR to FLL & MIA.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

FLL is more convenient for a lot more people, plus the potential amount of JetBlue codeshare that can open through it are many.

FTFY

Right, yet ELAL still chose MIA (supposedly wanting the AA connection to LATAM).

Most people going to LATAM would prefer to connect in MAD, a lot easier than connecting in the US.

Yes, but that leaves them travelling on Air Europa or other airlines. Does ELAL codeshare with anyone currently to LATAM?

Though, until today NYC were the only airports in NA where LY kept aircraft parked over Shabbos. (No Fri flights from TLV to YYZ, BOS or LAX even in the summer)

The 14-hour flight from TLV seems quite long given it takes 15 to get to LAX?

TLV-MIA is only 971 miles shorter than TLV-LAX. Take into account headwinds over the Atlantic (which the LAX route has less of) and it makes perfect sense.
