JUST IN: El Al has just announced that they will be honoring all tickets purchased at the unbelivably reduced rates earlier this week. Despite first announcing that they would honor all the tickets purchased, the company later announced that they were reconsidering it.
Thousands of tickets were purchased during the ticket pricing error, which lasted only several hours, as earlier reported.

Think in terms of the free publicity this has generated.
thank you El Al, this was the right thing to do, and to all of those who bought the tickets, may you have a safe and happy trip to ISRAEL.
The airline should not lose money because of a computer error. If the price was erroneous, they should not honor the tickets. It’s like taking advantage of a sick person.
UNFORTUNATELY BY LAW THEY HAVE TO HONOR IT. NOW THEY ARE PROBABLY LOSING MORE MONEY IF YOU STOPOVER. THEREFORE THEY ARE OFFERING DIRECT FLIGHTS FOR ONLY 75 DOLLARS A WAY EXTRA. TO #3
There is no such law
Can kill. So if you didnt get a ticket be quiet and ket others enjoy their good fortune. ELAL will have thousands more people fly them in the future for this and have people sign up for their matmid program which will cause a huge profit. No reason to feel bad. Besides they are partially run by the Israeli Govt arent all of you that are so jealous happy that the medina should lose?!?!?!
What if they have to raise prices to offset the losses from this mistake?????????????????????????????????
We must always remember that HaShem runs our lives in all ways. These flights came from HaShem , who chose to send certain people at this particular time to Eretz Yisrael.
wasn’t a good fortune #6, the situation was taken advantage of by people that knew full well those tickets didn’t go for that price.
no one should be complaining one way or another. I am sure everyone who reads the scoop would never look for a discount ? right
discount #10 is one thing down right thievery now that’s something totally different.
