Awards will now only be shown with the dynamic pricing (usually three times the amount standard award points) UNLESS you have enough points to book the standard award when you search through the El Al website.

Additionally, expertflyer and other sites will no longer be able to search for X and E class availabality (Business and Economy award classes).

So basically, people who might want to transfer in Amex Membership rewards to book a flight have to first transfer the points into Matmid to see if there is standard award availability.
