Me too! The ex-Israel sale is not supposed to end until tomorrow (24th) according to the T's and C's. They'd better not renege on that...

Don't worry about calling. Their phone line is completely jammed. 1 hour wait right now. I was mid booking when it went down too! Their World Traveler Plus sale is supposed to end EOD?
