Air France-KLM and EL AL have just rolled out a loyalty collaboration, and this includes reciprocal opportunities to earn and redeem miles. The most exciting development here is the ability to redeem Air France-KLM Flying Blue miles for travel on EL AL, so I wanted to go over the details of that in this post.

Alaska miles will no longer be able to be redeemed for El Al flights after this month. Qantas miles can be redeemed for El Al flights at decent rates.
Great stuff. I don't get business being cheaper than premium economy ...at...all...
Genocide should apply to all who hijack and airline mileage award program thread to opine on something they know nothing about. Kill the stupids. Cue Idiocracy.
I remember to proudly support Israeli products and companies (I just discovered Tubi60 thanks to that and it instantly became my favourite spirit, highly recommended!). It's the least we can do for a nation facing such barbaric attacks.
It's a pity that flying El Al comes with such strict safety measures. Of course I understand that unlike other security theatre, these are objectively needed and have a purpose, but it really puts me off flying El Al which is otherwise a very nice airline :/ Especially these days I'd love to support them with my money as I'm sure the demand is down, but it's just too much hassle to go through.
Only in a rotten world would pointing out that Israel is committing a genocide right now, and the frankly bizarre way we're acting like its normal including talking about redeeming miles on their national airline would be seen as not measured and unreasonable.
Since 10/7, as a result of many foreign carriers cutting or scaling back flying to Israel, El Al actually has been making record profits. So much so, that the Israeli government is investigating them for price gouging.
That said, tourist demand to Israel overall is certainly way down.

Ojibwe nation genocide in Chicago should certainly be remembered
You should leave Chicago immediately and give the stolen land back to the original native-americas owners
I don't usually fly El Al but I just flew with them business class LHR to TLV. Had no problem with security and was glad that they take security seriously.
What changed after October 6, 2023?
Is there something I missed or something you are ignoring?
BTW you should understand that rape, murder and putting babies in ovens is not acceptable behavior even if you want to condone it. Over 1200 citizens were murdered in cold blood October 7. There is visual evidence of rape as well as statements by the rapists. That people call this a rotten world is correct but you got it wrong.
By the way, Israelis are proud of their national airline but it is not Government owned, it was sold a few years ago.
Just repeating lies and racist ones at that - no rapes happened, no babies were put in ovens and actually every accusation is actually an admission of what Isreal does to Palestinians. And btw it wasn't 1200 citizens it actually ended up something like 800, because they includeded dead Hamas fighters in that original figure to overinflate their own deaths, because guess what Isreal lies, lies and lies. Nearly 40,000 innocent Palestinians are dead including children, but you don't care about them because they are brown and you are an racist evil heartless person that supports a genocidal regime.
Only an uneducated fool would not know that Jews come in every color.
The UN has admitted that there is evidence of rape but uber biased people just deny the validity of any evidence and any fact they prefer not to agree with.
I will stop clogging this conversation but keep spouting your garbage, perhaps elsewhere.
There has been no evidence of rape, so by repeating this lie constantly, you are the on "spouting garbage". And I love fact you ignore the fact that nearly 40,000 people that we know of but likely higher according to the UN, have been murdered, ethnically cleansed by Israel. Very convenient fact to ignore.
one of my best friends was murdered at the festival and another one who lives in a kibbutz had her grandmother raped, filmed, and lit on fire. They were brown (since race is so important to you). I think you are dehumanizing Israelis to the point that you are being the bigot here. It's okay to condone what happened on October 7th. I don't understand why you think it's a consistent lie and then feel the need to comment on an article about miles. You are welcome to come visit me in Tel Aviv and see for yourself how life is.
Again, no evidence for your claims which is just propaganda to frame Palestinians as deserving of the monstrous crime of genocide being perpetuated by Israel. I never condoned what happened on 7th October, but the reality is all of you keep ignoring what Israel is doing, as if after 40,000 innocent people being killed as if that is their right. And yes I will comment on this, because its the banality of evil of talking about miles to use on an airline of a genocidal entity committing crimes against humanity is so sick.
Glad you agree it’s stolen land? Or is your argument “well you stole land so why can’t we?!”… all the while being blind to the fact that Americans don’t deny they are not indigenous to land… Not the hot take your two brain cells thought it was…
