I made a really dumb mistake, booking Lufthansa Premium Economy ticket from JFK to TLV, leaving Thursday, Nov. 3 and arriving Friday, Nov. 4 at 7:10pm (i.e. after Shabbos).
I'm trying to re-book but the options are not good. Moving the flight a day earlier to the 2nd results in a $600+ fare difference. The only available seats at my fare are the following Monday, the 7th but staying another 4 nights in NYC will cost far more than that.
Cancelling the remainder of the ticket (in order to re-book elsewhere) will get me literally nothing, according to the airline rep.
Are any other options I'm not thinking of?
Any help you guys can offer will be much, much appreciated.
