Members of El Al Matmid Club can now get an assured upgrade in advance paid for with Matmid points to business or first class from almost any fare. You can take advantage of this offer until Oct. 1, 2009 or as long as supply lasts.

For example, you can get a business class seat upgrade from an economy fare (fare classes V and N) to London for 500 points one way. The upgrade travel must be completed by Oct. 31, 2009.
