Question about travel benefits

[daniel10]

Do any of you guys working for Comair/Delta know if there is an agreement with El-Al for flights to Israel and what kind of passes of priority might I get?

Thanks.

Delta flies to Tel Aviv out of JFK and ATL.

But employees do not have pass benefits on El Al. I'm not even sure if they offer travel industry discounted fares!

Thanks for the quick reply,
Being able to get passes on both would have made life a lot easier though because of more flights.
I thought maybe one can get ID90(?) passes (or something similar) on other airlines too? (not sure how those things work...) I read people saying the flew on European airlines or EOS and such.

Yup, sure can ride El Al!

It says "ID 95" on the employee site.

I can even ride Gulfstream. Woo.

 

[daniel10]

Great news for me (El-Al, not gulfstream),
Thanks!

Not DAL, but in the USAir system we have a ZedPass set up with them. Varies by millage mostly. Up to 500 miles is $19. 4000-5000 miles is $59.

The EOS thing was a jumpseat deal though, not a ID90 or ZFare.
