If you’re using an iPhone. Flip it to the side after requesting desktop site. That works for me

I know the cancelation penalty for these tix is 6,000 points. But can I cancel up until departure time or does it need to be 24 hours in advance?

If I book a flight that is within 24 hours of takeoff and I cancel 6 hours before flight is it still 6k?

Can someone with a ticketed infant please text QF for the allowed checked baggage for the infant on El Al?
El Al standard allowance is 10kg for the infant, but I believe QF allowance (mentioned in the e-ticket) is 23kg.
Question basically is if a QF issued LY ticket gets the QF allowance?

(For example, in cases where PS needed to accommodate passengers on LY from the US, they issued tickets on El Al with 2 check bags included, which El Al check-in agents were able to see)

LY may be able to see the QF allowance but it officially goes according to the LY policy, so have a backup plan.

You're stating this as fact or you're assuming so?

I know of a case where PS booked on DL and they refused to allow the second bag for free. I don't have any DPs for LY but until you have lots of reports that it works you should have a backup plan. Again, their policy doesn't change no matter what it says on your ticket.

I have DP's of PS issued El Al tickets where they were able to take 2 checked bags.

You should never rely on elal following policy. Every agent will do whatever they feel, dp’s aren’t gonna help you. Even dp’s about them allowing an infant a full bag of 23kg wouldn’t be a dp as there has been many times they allowed me a full suitcase for an infant (on a reg elal booking) & times they didn’t.

Having QF’s policy in writing or screenshot can hopefully help you to claim from qf a refund for paying for that extra bag in case elal doesn’t cooperate.

I had a Interesting story a few days ago. I booked 2 family members in elal premium economy using my qf points. When they checked they didn't have seats next to each other. The agent told them there is a note in the reservation to upgrade them to business if possible but as of now no seats available and they should ask by the gate {and if only 1 seat opens if they want it}. By the gate they were told that they managed to put them together in premium {it wasn't overbooked} but no business yet, come check again in 20 minutes. Before boarding they put them both in business class !!!!.

I guess some agent was in an especially good mood that day.

For some people PE looks like business if they never experienced one :-) ask them if the seats were like a bed. Had the same with a relative who swore he was in business until interrogated further.
