business rt is $1781 before the amex discount not $1121
the website isn't pricing a rt in biz and is automatically changing the outbound to economy giving the price of $1121
however i booked over the phone and got the rt priced out as $1781

Interestingly, the fare details in the confirmation email seem to indicate that both ways are business fares, although the ticket details clearly says the outbound is economy.


Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Anyone know if the Israeli consumer protection laws (2 weeks to cancel) apply to these tickets?

Thanks. It was a FB ticket and I see now the email says 1 bag. I guess will call to see if they will allow two.

I don't really think anyone will know if it is one bag or two until we have a trip report from someone who flew. So many conflicting answers. But maybe try to get a supervisor or HUCA when calling.

The prices dan posted for business class tickets are only available on the website (seems like a mistake). When you call them, they give you a price that is almost double (probably the correct price). I want to get the lower price, but I don't want to book on the Israel site because I won't get the $160 from Amex offer. Any tips?

It's a glitch on the website which displays the outbound as business but will book into economy. Don't bother.

Meaning my itinerary will end up being an economy ticket?

Inbound will still be business.  $1180 for half business seems like a decent proposal to me.

If you want comfort in both directions, book Y+ outbound, business inbound.  It'll cost around $1280 (give or take) and the outbound will be TLV-Rome business, Rome-NYC Y+.  This is a good Y+ product, look at the reviews and pictures.

Or book both directions Y+ for $780, the TLV-Rome/Rome-TLV legs will be business (for what European short-haul business is worth...).

Worth nothing. Your best bet is to try to grab the exit row seats

Alitalia's website is garbage! Very often it doesn't display the cheapest fares!
Call them up with your dates and hopefully they will be able to give you the same price + the 20% discount + $160 off from AMEX.
Good luck

Just spoke to the Israeli Alitalia call center.

They say that as long as the ticket is booked through the Israeli call center or website AND is for a flight more than 7 days out than you can cancel up to 14 days and only pay 5% cancellation fee.

Can I relay on phone rep???

the same flights come up on the us call center for 550 (o class) and in israel for 800+(y class) i HUCAd a few times and no one in the us will give me the discount. all the reps know about this so they try sending you back and forth between israel and the us to kill the last few hours of the promotion! its the same reps answering both calls and they see the prices on both systems.
