EL AL Customer Service Phone Numbers

Calling might seem like an efficient way to get in touch with an EL AL agent, but because of the extensive wait times, it might not be the best method for contact. Understandably, however, it might be the only option in times when you just have to have a person to person conversation.

Before you call, be sure to have your booking number and other pertinent information ready. EL AL’s phone hotline is available: Sunday through Thursday: 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Friday: 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm, and Saturday: Until 11:45 pm.
