What is the difference between a Master AWB and a House AWB? +

A Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is issued by the airline — in this case El Al — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 114. A House Air Waybill (HAWB) is issued by the freight forwarder to the individual shipper and uses the forwarder's own numbering system. For tracking on El Al's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 114-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Yes. 114 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for El Al. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 114, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 114, it is guaranteed to be a El Al shipment.

What if my 114 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 114 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a El Al cargo terminal and the AWB has been activated in their system. This typically takes 2–8 hours after acceptance. If your AWB still shows no status after 12 hours, contact El Al cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
