Maybe it's different on LAX to TLV flights? My flight leaves in a few days and there are still 12 business class seats along with 13 premium (8 aisle, 1 window, 4 middle). Most of the economy are occupied except for several middle seats and 1 aisle. The El Al Space seats seem to be widely available. I'm not sure why people didn't reserve them when the fees were reasonable imo.

I downloaded the app and somehow I was able to see the number of bids (on the website it doesn't show it). Saw 106 bids. Don't know if that includes every bid, canceled bids, etc though.
