My friend has an open B class ticket is chicago from tel aviv even though the ticket price was $1400 it was placed in B class as he is a student studying for the year while trying to make his return ticket the ELAL office was extremely unhelpful in finding him a flight home on any date from June 6 to the 15th they booked him on the 21st but he needs to get home earlier. I asked about putting him on the Delta flight on June 7 but the lady cut me off and kept screaming how a B ticket must be 100% on elal they refuse to send him to newark and then put him on a connecting flight via any partner. Is there any way around these rules or to upgrade the ticket to a normal one so he can use a partner? Thanks in advance for all the help.
