El Al also has some excellent sale fares when using Matmid points as well.
Using Chase Points:
You can pay for the ticket with “hybrid points” such as AMEX or Chase points with a card that allows your points to be used at an increased value for airfare in addition to be able to transfer points into airline miles.
If you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card you can redeem points for 1.5 cents each towards travel. If you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Ink Preferred you can redeem points for 1.25 cents each towards travel.
You can login to your account and redeem Chase points for travel here. The round-trip cost will be 43,274 points with a Sapphire Reserve. That rate include all taxes and you will still earn flight miles as well!
Using AMEX points:
- If you have an AMEX Business Platinum Card you can get a 35% rebate of points used.
- If you have an AMEX Business Gold Card you can get a 25% rebate of points used.
- Registration is not required for business class fares.
You can login to your account and redeem AMEX points for travel here.
This is bookable for 64,812 points with AMEX in coach. Plus you’ll get back a 35% rebate with the Business Platinum Card or a 25% rebate with the Business Gold Card, dropping the total needed to as low as 42,127 points. That includes all taxes and you can still earn miles for flying!

Is El Al waiving all change fees? If yes, are they also waiving all changes fees if booked through Chase travel? Thank you
Yes and yes.
Note that the difference in fare still applies.
Chicago to Israel also have similar prices.
on what dates?
Can I book JFK-TLV in American business class?
whats the best way to fly ela al from ewr to tlv with points?
qanatas still? they have good availability?
United has for $433 one way for 2 weeks out from now!
I don’t know why, but Chase travel search is always more expensive than Amex.
Sample route/date?
NYC/TLV 6/23/21 – 7/4/21 American Airline
Looks like AMEX has a discounted insider fare for those dates.
Chase is the same price as AA.com and Priceline.
cool. not the first time I’m seeing this (other time was also AA)
Yup, AMEX can have some nice insider discounts.
If you purchase the trip insurance through Priceline and can’t get into the country do you think your ticket would be fully refundable?
Are there any such deals to/from Toronto?
What’s AA cancellation policy? I booked for summer but now ElAl is much cheaper 🙁
Free changes.
Oh well. Was hoping to refund AA and purchase LY
Could still happen if AA cancels their flight. But that won’t happen until closer in.
what are the matmid rates?
IS THERE FREE CANCELLATION
No
If I have united miles or chase miles – what should I save chase miles for ? (And use csr instead ?) which use first ?
Who offers free refund ? (United ly DL)
Went to El al site / nothing for September.
Thought was not published yet
CDC vaccine card worthless in Israel ?
Thank you
Is this one way? Every time I put in my info they give me a price that is 582 going and another 582 coming back. What is going on?
No. See title. You need to book round-trip.
Do free changes on AA or ElAl mean free name changes too?
if i cancel aa will i get credit?
I attempted to book on El Al’s website. When I got to the payment page and entered my CC info, the icon spun and spun and then returned me to the home page. I never received confirmation but my credit card is showing a $649 charge from El Al.
Does that mean I got the ticket? There’s no phone number to call or seemingly any other way to reach them.
Dan, I just got an email from birthright that they will resume operation in July. Do you think we can add tart scheduling our private trip to israel?
any tips on getting out of a AA summer reservation for a full refund. they are offering me credit only 🙁
Wait and see if they cancel or change their flight time.
I got Delta for $692 for Shavous (booked back in Nov/Dec when the vaccines were first announced effective) but it doesn’t look like that will be happening. I assume if Delta cancels the flight (they already cancelled one of their JFK flights that day and re-booked me on the other) I get a full refund otherwise I’m stuck with a credit? Would love a full refund so I can re-book for the summer (or succos, or whenever Israel decides to re-open) using the airline with the best fare…
If they changed your flight time you can call them for a full refund.
are these tickets transferrable to another name if I decide to cancel?
Thanks Dan! Really appreciate your help, booked elal mid June for $649.
Are the rates one way or round trip?
Read the post title?
Hi, I’m looking to book in July after Tisha ba’av.. Is the deal still live.. I cant find anything..
it can be booked through the airline too? don’t see any of these rates when searching-on priceline or through the airline
Dan,
Thanks! I got 2 tickets for $649! I want to add another child to my flights, even at the regular price. But it doesn’t let me book a flight for a child.
How do I book a flight for a minor to join me through Chase?
Thanks Dan got round trip to Israel for 692 from delta no stop over
I’m trying to select a fight but it is not letting me
Which airlines that go to Israel will give full refund if plans don’t work out to go in summer?
Is Turkish Air safe to travel? Would you do a stopover in Istanbul with a family?
