QF runs regular transfer bonus promos. Be sure to transfer 500 points into your account and opt in for emails to get targeted.

El Al has WhatsApp service where you can text them the PNR and request a seat preference (or a meal etc.)
Sometimes takes a while until they reply, but this way it doesn't waste your time.
Service is available Sun - Thur 8:30am - 7:00pm and Fri 8:30am - 4:00pm Israel time.
Number is +972535663033

Are you traveling within the next 24-72 hours? If not it's up to QF to do the changes
Thanks. But Qantas has no access to that flight because ELAL didnt release business class seats. They are offering BA thru LHR which doesnt work...

Its here, and it's bad. 90k J to TLV from NYC, 70.8k P.
37.8k in Y is the new rate some of which is being adapted now, the rest of the changes are in effect Sept. 18.
104.5k from MIA in J.
119.2k from the west coast in J.

Booked last night and still no tickets either. Had received an email saying to some TSA required info missing or booking will get cancelled. I added online and still nothing. Called QF today and they said if departure isn't in the coming days it can take up to 48 hours. She promised it's on the queue to be ticketed. I hope she's right. I'm still holding my breath...

Yup she’s right, I booked this week. 24 hours later they sent the email for the info and 24 hours later got the ticketed itinerary.
