El Al and JetBlue Airways have signed an agreement enabling passengers to purchase a single ticket for travel on flights of both carriers in one simple transaction, check luggage through to their final destination as well as enjoy seamless connecting service to and from Israel.
Starting Oct. 1, El Al passengers will be able to purchase tickets for departures from all JetBlue destinations throughout the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean and connect to an El Al nonstop flight to Israel (via JFK International Airport). Customers taking advantage of this new interline agreement buy and travel on a single eticket as well as save money. Plus, when checking in on the day of travel (in either direction), El Al customers receive boarding cards to their final destination and luggage is also checked through all the way. The luggage requirements of El Al entitles every economy class passenger to check in two bags per person, and three for each business and first class passenger. The same luggage allowance is permitted on connecting JetBlue flights for no extra charge.
“This new link between the two airlines means that El Al passengers, both Americans and Israelis, will benefit from the expertise and fine personalized service offered by both airlines,” said Offer Gat, El Al vice president, North and Central America. “We are also pleased to offer more flight options to our passengers who live in cities other than our gateways.” For more information, visit www.elal.com or www.jetblue.com.
