Booking El Al with Qantas - master thread

[Alex1974]

Can some of you with Qantas miles do me a favor and check fuel charges for me please?
I tried on my account but it wouldn't give it to me without miles in the account. I don't want to transfer those miles before I know.
I'm looking at PHL-ZRH-PHL booked on AA metal in economy booked with Qantas miles. Are there any fuel charges/taxes?

Thank you for helping.

heavy surcharges [on any aa international flight using qf points] between 200 - 300 per direction

just missed the 20% amex bonus for Qatar and checked Citi & Capital 1 all are 1:1 anyone know of any promotions out or coming out soon? would like to use around 200,000 points and it would be nice to save 20%...

[my08701]

actually use the chat on AMEX, told them I missed the deadline and the rep said she would give the 20%. Let's see if it works, supposed to kick in within 48 hours.

Are you not able to book MIA-TLV flights on Qantas.com?

There are seats where I see inventory available on Experflyer, but it doesn't show up.

Been on hold with Qantas for 1 hr and no pickup

Availability on El Al does not mean it's available on Qantas

Can anyone check for me how much Taxes and fees are TLV-LHR?
I don’t have points in my account so I can’t check.

You don’t need points in your account to check

Does QANTAS allow stopovers on OW travel? Any way to search online?

I booked a flight with qauntas for business on elal this past Wednesday, it shows confirmed on qauntas, (it showed on elal as confirmed, but was unable to access the flight in terms of adding the mehadrin or choosing seats or anything really). the points were deducted from qauntas, but my cc has not been charged yet for the taxes.. any thoughts?

UPDATES:
Called elal like a previous post said to do, they were able to add the seat and the mehadrin meal, but they said that the ticket still does not show as being confirmed...

However, I don't see any elal flights available. economy or business.

Any suggestions?

happens very often  you need to make sure it is ticketed. n=one way to check is generally if on qantas.com the "cancel" option shows in red. also if you can email yourself the itinerary or receive error message

I once had to call quantas while attending in ben gurion to get it ticketed, hadn't realized it never happened. Better to do it in advance..

Yes just saw Monday and Tuesday elal flights, but no return flights. Does that mean they're all booked or they haven't released all the seats?

Also if it's fully booked, any other suggestions for flights with points? That are reasonable priced
