El Al is waiving change and cancellation fees due to escalated fighting with Hezbollah and expected further escalations with Iran. 

El Al customers who purchased a ticket Oct. 1 for a flight scheduled to depart by Oct. 19 may cancel their ticket without a fee and receive a voucher that can be redeemed until Dec. 31.

In addition, the carrier has waived change fees if rescheduled flights travel to the original destination in the same service class, though fare differences will apply. 

El Al typically charges change and cancellations fees for holders of Classic economy tickets, with the amount of fee varying by the ticket.

Flights were suspended Tuesday to and from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv as Iran fired ballistic missiles into Israel, but flights have since resumed.
