Delta Air Lines and El Al Israel Airlines have launched a
reciprocal codeshare agreement for travel beginning Jan. 1, 2024, Delta
announced Monday.
Delta’s code will be added to El Al’s nonstop flights
between Tel Aviv and each New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport,
Newark Liberty International Airport and airports in Boston, Los Angeles, Miami
and Fort Lauderdale. El Al’s code will be added to Delta’s nonstop Tel Aviv
flights once they are restored, as well as up to 280 same-day connections via
Delta gateways in New York (JFK), Boston and Los Angeles, according to Delta.
In addition, customers flying between the Americas and Tel
Aviv will have the ability to earn and redeem SkyMiles or Matmid loyalty points
across both carriers. Beginning Jan. 15, each airline also will offer
reciprocal benefits to their top tier frequent flyer members, such as preferred
seat access, priority check-in and boarding, additional baggage allowance and
lounge access where applicable, according to Delta.
Delta currently has canceled its flights between the United
States and Tel Aviv until March 29, 2024, because of the conflict in the
region, according to the carrier.
