El Al Matmid - Currency of El Al website

Hey everyone:

I went to look at prices to fly from MEL-TLV through the "Other destinations" part of the El Al website and it comes up with a price of $3,000.

I assume that it's quoted in US$? It doesn't say anywhere about the currency, so I assume it's US$, but I thought I'd check with the experts :)

Shana tova (to relevant parties).

L.

USD it is.

Shana tova!

This reminds me of an Israeli sitcom called "Neighbors" which was popular when I first arrived here. At the time, there was an incredible inflation rate in the country and nobody wanted to accept payment for expensive items in lira (which was then the currency).

In the show, one of the main characters was negotiating a price for renovating his apartment with a contractor.

The contractor gave him the prices in dollars, Swiss francs, French francs, and German Deutschemarks.

"How much do you want in lira?" the apartment owner asked.

"I'm sorry," said the contractor, "but I don't take foreign currency."
