Right now the minimums are $220 for TLV-BCN and $200 for ZRH-TLV.
By the way:
The TLV-BCN leg is operated by El-Al with 767-300.
The ZRH-TLV leg is operated by Swiss, with A330-300.
It seems that one can place / change / cancel a bid up to 96 hours before the flight.
Does it matter how early the bid is placed (in case of identical bids), or do they go by the customer's paid fare (or maybe status)?
What would be the best way to check the business availability?
I assume that LY has limited availability on the flight operated by Swiss, but does anyone know how I can check that? On Expedia's seatmap I see El-Al has 4 Business seats on that flight.
elal doesnt disclose what are their parameters for accepting a bid.
dont forget that beside your bid, there are people on WL for upgrades with vouchers etc.
you need to look at how many seats are available for purchse and in what fare buckets.
i think that the bidding on the LX metal will be void.
