No thanks United. I won’t use you if you pay me to fly. I’m all El Al – the only group not to cancel service to TLV since Oct. 7.
Don’t be naive elal is making lots of money from the seven of October they were the only airline that flew from Israel and they made it clear with expensive tickets for everybody it is all about business make a decision what is good for your wallet and your comfortability because they’re making it too don’t put in ideology or something like this because you will get disappointed
ElAl made a record net profit of almost 40 million Oct-Dec 2023…it’s all business out there
That’s a bit of an unfair analysis. They capped prices in the immediate aftermath of the attacks to help people get home and were instrumental in transporting soldiers back to Israel. Eventually they had a right to obey the regular laws of supply and demand (economics 101). They are a business not a charity and are allowed to charge what people are willing to pay. I don’t think that means we have to fly with them regardless of price but they deserve some level of hakaras hatov.
No naivete here. I am well aware that El Al charged a premium – I flew with them to EY as did many other family members – all paid for by poppa. They’re well within their rights to do so, however. They are a business after all and businesses exist to earn money. I have no expectation that they’d fly us for free. No reason that they should.
But in the immediate aftermath of 7/10 they did everything it took to get everyone back to EY and flew reservists any way they had to.
They hold themselves responsible to the Israeli public and supporters and for that they’ll have my undying support.
I may be a bit old-fashioned here, but I’ll stay loyal to any business that doesn’t bail on me when the going gets tough. I have excellent status on United and Delta and in the end it was worthless. Tried getting my kid out of EY so he could get married but they were useless.
Now that they’re back in business (for profit), El Al’s prices will have to come down and there won’t be any difference between them and the others.
If you can afford it, good for you!
For Shvues they are both the same expensive.
I am also done with United. El Al matched my 1k status and I’m sold. Only thing lacking right now is kosher food in EWR lounge.
El Al uses the SAS lounge which has kosher food.
Cold food which doesn’t exactly compare to the hot stuff in the Polaris lounge but better than most lounges offer
Thanks for the heads up. I was booked on the 10:30 a.m. flight as a return flight, I switched to the 11:30 and they gave me a credit for the difference, which I then used for an upgrade to premium which was priced pretty low.
Score!
It’s interesting, for some reason in the app flight details it doesn’t have premium economy listed as a separate class. Maybe someone at United didn’t click the right button when rescheduling the flight.
As a separate comment @dan as long as I have your attention, have you noticed premium economy prices going up significantly? I flew premium economy on United exactly a year ago and round trip was around $500 more than economy each way. Now looks like it’s between $1,500-$2,500 more each way.
They are having 2 flights tomorrow, the flight originally scheduled from 10:30, and the cancelled flight from today, scheduled for 11:30 tomorrow.
Anyone know why the canceled today’s flight? It appears the incoming flight arrived on time, it appears that the aircraft is there overnight.
Read the post 🙂
Correct. Missed that line…
You can cancel within 24 hours even though the flight departs less than seven days after the time it was booked?
Depends on the airline and booking agent. But in this case, yes.
Yeah! fly UA and maybe the Pilot will be Ibrahim R. Mossallam pro Hamas!?
Does this include luggage and seat selection if not Elal is same price
It does.
I am trying to get into Elal but their service is just so terrible. I paid full price for tickets and when I went to check in they switched my seats without notifying me. When I texted them they said I requested the seat change. Very frustrating.
dead?
Seems to still work
thanks repriced my ticket got back difference in travel credit
Just flew United last week, great staff and smooth ride BH. We were set to return on Lufthansa via FRA but there was a strike so we switched over to UA direct.
Yes, ElAl is wonderful, super that they did not bail out after Simchas Torah.
How do I get back $1000 for them bumping my flight for 1 day?
How do I get the deal?
