Update: DEAD! Don’t miss it if this becomes alive again. Sign up for deal notification alerts here!
Update: Most dates are now sold out for JFK-Tel Aviv, but you can still find seats on dates like 2/15-2/21, 2/15-2/23, 3/6-3/13 or 3/6-3/14.
Update: This sale has significant hidden capacity restrictions, with most flights only valid in Economy/U Class and Premium Economy/P Class, which can be hard to find. I was not able to find any P Class availability between JFK and Tel Aviv for discounted Premium Economy flights.
El Al’s website won’t price the BOGO discount if the booking class isn’t available on your flight, so you’ll need to keep trying different dates and flights to find ones that do have it. You may want to contact a travel agent to help find availability.

I had trouble pricing this out on some dates within the valid period and getting BOGO premium economy pricing, so there are likely some capacity/booking class rules and blackout dates that aren’t published in the sale link.
Israel is currently open for tourists who have been vaccinated in the past 6 months or received a booster. See the FAQ section here for full details.

Cancellation policy?

No, should work to/from most cities.
SMOKING HOT!!!!
No, as most dates don’t seem to have BOGO pricing.
I see the flight options in the sale calendar, but getting full price at checkout. I entered the promo code and am within the sale period.
same
Seems like there are booking class/capacity restrictions. And El Al’s awful site can’t filter that out.
what does that even mean? Booking class/capacity restrictions?
Is it possible to extend one ticket once already in Israel and not the other?
and of course, they don’t offer anything pesach time!
Rosenberg is smarter than that
most destinations ? worldwide, seem just in north america..
Worldwide.

Does it work with infants?
Should if you book them a seat.
Just checked to begin with they don’t let just not sure if it’s fine to add them as adult if they are not
I’ve booked kids as adults with BA without issue.
Does it work on one ways?
No.
when selecting new york it doesnt give you the option of jfk or ewr
Just type NYC
It’s not letting me select a number of children. Should I just book all as adults? (i.e. family of 4, select 4 adults?)
Children usually pay a little less taxes, however, if the coupon works for you for adults only, book them as adults.
You need to stop giving people this “advice” the website stops you when you enter the birthdate of the “adult”.
Is Israel open to us citizens who recovered from COVID-19? Or is a booster required?
Read the post and linked FAQ?
Is there 24h cancellation?
If it’s a US flight, US law requires 24 hour cancellation if it’s 7+ days in advance of the flight.
Should be added that if the airline has a Hold option (where you can lock the price for 24H for free) they aren’t required to refund you even within 24H
Had it turkish airlines
Where do you put in promo code when booking?
On elal.com homepage.
On the home page, where you enter the cities/dates etc.
It’s so Elal to run a promotion for good PR and then get everyone upset by having unpublished restrictions.
As the saying goes “it’s not just an airline….”
Exactly what I wrote back to the El Al PR department, the slogan fits this sale perfectly 😀
I happen to grab 3 pairs on different dates!
If their website would work correctly (so you can clearly see when this sale is applicable), everyone would love it and it would be a wonderful sale and a “Smoking HOT” post.
Indeed.
One ways tlv-ny?
Round-trip required.
Any hope other airlines with match this?
Doubt it.
Nothing to match… i don’t think anyone was able to take advantage of this deal..
Cant book the BOGO deal when website shows availability
This promo is a mess. You just have to keep trying other dates/flights to find space.
not able to book for children, anyone having the same thing ?
Try booking them as adults?
Tried, when booking them as adults and putting in their birthday, says they’re not adults and I have to start over.
do age as +100 so your 2 year old will be 102
That’s what I do with BA.
Same
Question not completely related… I booked a 13-year-old on AA points on a separate account from my ticket, but I had to put it in a false date for his age because they wouldn’t allow that age to be ticketed on its own. In the past I know you wrote that is not a problem for sure for domestic. Would it be a problem going to Israel? Do I have to call to change his birthday to the correct one? Will they give me a problem?
Thank you
Doubt you’ll encounter any issues.
Ok ty. So you suggest just showing up to the airport as ticket currently is?
Yes
Ty I appreciate it
I also had a similar issue recently with an El Al award redemption. Don’t forget that you input passport info separately during checkin, which is what they actually go by in reality – so just make sure all that info is indeed accurate.
I hope another airline will copy this sale and then will be able to get a real good deal
What do you think are the chances?
Just got 2 round-trip tickets from JFK for 828.26
Congrats!
good for you! which dates?
3/9 – 3/14
If someone actually finds dates that work with this deal, can you please post because so far, my total price is coming up to 1700
I’ve tried every date possible
Best price im getting is $433 to Israel and $382 back but that’s for each way for total of $800/person. Not getting the get 1 free part of it.
2 tickets costing me $1627
Not a deal at all. Maybe you should write that your prices are for 1 way!
It’s round-trip, but only limited flights have it. Read the post update.
Has anyone found any dates that worked?
March 10-16, March 21-29, among some others.
Most dates are now sold out for this sale.
Found those on ITA Matrix with routing code: LY / f bc=U;
Shame the El Al site is so worthless.
How do you input the routing codes? I’m getting an error on the old ITA
Hi what is the exact routing code
The one u posted it isn’t working on that website
Sorry… I missed it.. does the coupon code calculate eventually… it also says 1885
I have a friend looking to fly next week, February 14, returning February 22, preferably from EWR anybody interested in doing a second ticket?
Where would the discount price show up? Do you have to wait until the final page or will you see it right away?
was just able to book for $828.26 for 2 tickets
March 8th 18:00 returning March 14th 12;30
economy u
anything available from Los Angeles? i cant seem to find anything
shout out to the TAs!!! wow lchaim dan
How do you cancel a flight on ElAl within 24 hours? Accidentally booked 2. Was able to book at the discount price Feb. 24 to March 7.
No return flights after 3/24? Any way around that? Looking for 3/29 or 3/30.
I grabbed a pair for Purim!
where do i put the coupon code
1 or 2 tickets Round trip JFK to Tel Aviv for February March
It’s a fraud at checkout price is $1,800. Shouybe investigation go FRAUD
Round-Trip from NYC To Tel Aviv
Elal is down
Another ElAl scam. You put in the dates and promo code and it spits out full price. Don’t waste your time.
Not true. search on matrix first for cheapest dates & then go back to elal. SOME DATES ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR $414
ELAL added the option to see which dates are actually available in economy.
Anyone Find dates that still offer this deal? Everything Im searching seems to be fuoll price
Are these tickets refundable within 24 hours? I booked but need to cancel. What is the best way to do this. Have tried online, WhatsApp and mail but nothing working.
Just cancelled a ticket with Elal (only way to get through is by calling the Israeli call center 03-940-4040, it took about an hour to get a rep). Was told that they don’t have 24 hour free cancellation policy, only same date cancellation (in other words if you booked 2 minutes before midnight Israel time, you have 2 minutes to cancel…)
Federal law requires 24 hours for US flights booked 7+ days in advance.
No one told El-Al, the rep was pretty adamant…
Also, site crashed about 14 times while trying to check out, every time I pressed “confirm” my card was charged but the site crashed and nothing was actually ticketed….
Dan, I purchased EL AL tickets using Chase points 2 years ago. Have spoken to Chase a dozen times to get refunded. They keep saying they can’t get through to El Al. And El Al won’t talk to me because I purchased them through Chase. Any suggestions?
There are no more return flights
flights still available to and from in march
Spend 50 bucks; fly to Miami from JFK and go….
how can i add my qantas ffn to the res?
This is what they are calling a buy1get1. You need to purchase the full price for those 2 tickets. So you’ll end up spending 2k for those 2 tickets. Then, ON YOUR NEXT trip you’ll get a free ticket. Firstly, it’s more like buy 2 get one ticket free. Secondly, that free ticket will no doubt come with restrictions. Last, that isn’t what everyone would call buy1get1, especially since you need to buy 2…somewhat deceiving…
Where are you taking this from??
It’s incorrect.
