Fun with Orbitz

Newark to Tel Aviv:
El Al 0028 (EWR-TLV 4/21/05)
El Al 0027 (TLV-EWR 5/3/05)
= $5515 per person

El Al 0028 (EWR-TLV 4/21/05)
=$2751 per person (one way)

(pay attention this is where it gets interesting)
Delta 8986 "operated by El Al Israel -- LY (El Al's airline code) 0028" (EWR-TLV 4/21/05)
Delta 8985 "operated by El Al Israel -- LY 0027 (TLV-EWR 5/3/05)
= $986 per person

Delta 8986 "operated by El Al Israel -- LY 0028" (EWR-TLV 4/21/05)
= $787 per person (one way)

These two options happen to be the cheapest and the most expensive* options shown (I will not say which is which).
*there happens to be a three-airline option (Virgin, El Al, Swiss) for some dates that is in the $5600s

the plot thickens...
