yup.me too 🙁

No reason Elal should refund bc u decided 2 cancel

And fyi no airlines are offering refunds. At most, they are waiving change fees but not difference in fare. At some scenarios, they’ll offer to cancel the ticket and give u travel credit to use within the year and only for the traveler.
You need to relax. Not everyone owes you something. A reasonable fee is fine and is allowed. And should note, airlines are hurting financially much more then travelers.

Corporate capitalism

It seems to me that you are very pro corporate capitalism. (Ehich is not the capitalism the USA was meant to be). These corporations are taking (stealing) large sums of money amid an emergency. (Like being segregated for pesach seder)..
And me- the small individual has no right to cancel and get my money back?
Corporate greed. The corporations should be regulated in order not to act like pigs.

I’m 71 year old cancer surviver.
Two years saved money to visit my sister in Israel.
My health is not allow me to realize my trip.
El-Al was ignored to my medical proof.
On March 4,2020 I have been cancelled my ticket with fee reduction of $270.00
Today, more than 50 DAYS after cancellation date.
NO REFUND.
And no people to talk about MY MONEY.
