Where to purchase reasonably price LY one way tickets?
 

It use to be that you could purchase LY one way tickets for a reasonable price at expedia 3 years ago. These days expedia isn't offering anything better than the el al website. The el al website prices are horrible for one way to MXP $750! A round ticket can be as cheap as $318 and no more than $400.

I don't want to fly Aegean to Milan but it seems like I may have no saner choice.

Anyone know which travel agent El Al is offloading its affordable one way tickets these days?

That's where FT's popular (last few days) travel agent comes in :) lol

Message me the dates and I'm sure I will be able to get u a good price

Buy a round trip ticket and don't show up for the return....

EL-AL's website follow the rules where one way ticket is booked in S/Q Class only, If you want to trick the system you should go for G/T return ticket for 380$ (Just checked on the web site) and not show for the flight back.

Shhhhhh!!!! If they realize we're doing these kinds of things they'll shut it down . . .

Isn't that what I said? ;)

I was even advised to do so by a rep. from the ELAL reservation call centre, she explained to me that she will find me the cheapest return date, and I should just drop the return.

If you want to lower the cost a little bit further on the return trip when you are throwing away the return leg, try this. Make the flight as a multi-city using
TLV to MXP for outbound, and then return from SOF to TLV (or Athens to TLV).
That should knock off a bit from the TLV-MXP roundtrip price.

CO has been known to cancel OP miles for not showing up for the return. Would you lose out on Matmid points for pulling this shtick?

My wife once received AA miles for an El Al return flight that she didn't even check in for (The rest of the family on the same reservation did check in and fly, but she had to miss the flight).

Did it once and kept the points.

And...?

I assume you're being sarcastic?

Meaning the points for outbound that you did take? (And this was LY I presume, not CO. Correct?)

Good catch!

Yes and yes.

This occur as well in EL-AL, The only problem that once in a year EL-AL clear those mistakes... 8-(

It occurs to those who change plans in the very last second or even do no show althought being checked-in from the internet...
