I’m in Cleveland’s United Club, watching my delayed flight get pushed further and further back. I’m also rattling through potential backup plans with a super helpful United Club agent as we try to figure out what exactly to do if we miss our connection to Tel Aviv tonight.
Flying is always an adventure, but being prepared with backup plans is crucial in case things go south.
My record locator now includes business class seats on Air Canada, Delta, El Al, and United flights. One way or another we’ll make it to Israel 😀

- 29K+ people receive a daily email digest of everything posted on Dansdeals.com via Google’s Feedburner service! Bear in mind that with this service you will receive emails a day after a deal is posted, so there’s a decent chance that by the time you get the email the deal will be dead already…which is why I prefer the twitter option. It seems to be a favorite pastime of Feedburner subscribers to email me asking how dare I send them an email of deals after the deal is already dead or to leave irate comments like this one. At any rate to subscribe just locate the “Daily Email Digest” section in the sidebar of this site, enter your email address, and subscribe.

There is no way you’re making the DL flight tonight (if it’s not delayed).
Who is that super helpful agent ?
He means the United Club customer service agent
“One way or another we’ll make it to Israel”
Maybe you, your baggage is a different story though.
Truth. Luckily I paid the award taxes on my Sapphire Reserve, so I’ll get baggage delay compensation..
Still on the ground here in CLE. Gonna be a nail-biter.
Same baggage compensation using Chase ink?

Gotta love this game 🙂

Dan will only have a two day yom tov – I supposes…..
Lubavitchers do 1 day YT in Eretz Yisrael, 2 days elsewhere. Not based on permanent residence.
That’s not so cut and clear
As a Mendy, I guess you have more knowledge of Chabad’s ways than I do.
Where you staying maybe we’ll meet
If you bite your nails make sure to throw away especially because lots of frum people.
Wow, Ka”h first Amsterdam and the next day Israel! I know i know you prob went to Amsterdam months ago and you just wrote the report now…:)
Amsterdam was so last month 😉
צאתכם לשלום
Yes, that was Iyar and now it’s Sivan!
Would love to meet you in person. I return to Israel Thursday afternoon (this is my 6th US trip in 2019).
dont forget the amazing falafel bnei brak has to offer. the best place is two doors down from the corner. (building with the black roof, right near the bus stop)
As my son fondly refers to it עיר התורה והפלאפל
The “Follow me to The Holy Land” title should be used again when you make aliyah. Imyirtza Hashem by you. Hatzlacha on your trip meanwhile.
@Dan,
Enjoy the trip. דרך צליחה!
@satturn here again- I can try to get you into the kotel tunnels this time if you’re interested… maybe the virtual reality also
Dan, are you speaking in Jerusalem? If yes, please post details!
@Dan can you please arrange a seminar in Jerusalem ?
