Cancel flight?

I have a flight booked for next week - Tuesday to EWR. Should I wait for Elal to cancel or should I do it and take a $260 cancellation fee?

Highly doubt LY will CX any flight to The US if anything they will add some, they should have a policy in place to put off your trip, if you dont want to go at all thats something else, but unless rockets rain down and land in the TLV area I doubt LY will be CXing anything. If anything other carriers are returning such as BA and VS as of yesterday. The US carriers I heard have CXed their flights till the end of Oct, another reason LY wont be CXing anything IMO

So EL AL might have less pilots due to some of them drafted. But you should be subject for accomodation for credit for a future flight. Check on EL AL website they should have a waiver.
