United also waive it?
Officially only northern Italy.
But you can always call if you’re uncomfortable flying and ask for a waiver.
I had a UA flight this week that I wanted to cancel. The first rep said they will not waive the change fee, I called back the 2nd rep cancelled my trip and gave me a credit.
Thanks
That’s good to know
Any chance elal would allow for cancellation on April 2nd flight from Europe or not yet?
What’s alitalia doing? My sister’s Alitalia flight got canceled. Anyone have any luck rebooking with delta direct?
How about british airways i want to cancel a trip for this week?
Does that work if you book a United or El Al flight on Priceline?
What do I do abt a Europe flight booked thru qf
Does this include flights between NY and Tell Aviv? Does El Al consider Israel to be part of Europe?
What about EasyJet Israel to Venice?
They have a good website, that doesn’t allow you to cancel and I gave up trying to get them on the phone, after 2 hours each day for 2 days in a row!!!
Will the honor this for flights from the US
Any chance of getting a waiver for a flight from the US if I have a ticket to Israel for a family wedding (ie a gathering of over 100 people who have not been in Israel for 14 days) that I may no longer be able to attend? Flight is ElAl but booked through Chase UR.
Hello, How can I freeze my ticket?
I would be flying the 7 th of April with connection flight to Holland.
Thank you.
