I flew BOS-TLV and it actually did have streaming -- so maybe the equipment isn't always the same?  This was over a year ago...
THANKS- I'll be sure to pack my book !

The funniest thing about this is El Al's slogan on their boarding pass. Did anyone ever notice?

If you're referring to the statement about departing on time, it's very common for airlines to mention on time departure and gate closing times on their BPs. I don't think that's their slogan in any way.

Happened to notice this on El Al's Hebrew Facebook page today -

Someone posted a message on the wall (in Hebrew) asking when flights to Miami will commence.

El Al replied: שלום סבטה, תודה רבה על פנייתך, אל על בוחרת את מגוון יעדיה עפ"י שיקולים מסחריים ותפעוליים. לצערנו הקו הישיר למיאמי אינו עומד על הפרק בשלב זה משיקולים אלו. תודה

Quick translation: Sveta, thank you for contacting us.  El Al chooses its various destinations according to operational and commercial considerations.  Unfortunately, direct flights to Miami are not currently being considered at this time, per the mentioned considerations.  Thank you.

Don't assume that the person managing El Al's FB page knows anything about El Al

Which might be a contributing factor in me not flying there other than for family reasons ;) (which in recent years have become more frequent).

Also, how about hire a different CEO (of the Gordon Bethune type). As they say in Hebrew הדג מסריח מהראש!
Here's someone else who feels there's a problem with ELAL management (or company culture).

"the carrier is slowly starting to invest in contemporary design touches that are piece by piece, changing the image of the carrier"

What a joke! They are still flying planes from the 80's and 90's but think that if they change the look of the breakfast try it will help them to stop bleeding costumers.

Maybe I'm misinformed but which planes in their fleet are from the 80s? Also age of actual plane isn't as relevant in their image. Which LY plan​e is older than Air Force One?

Maybe I rounded. Down a bit  :D
I defenatly know that I flew on their 747's when I was really young. The difference between air Force one and Elal's 747's is that air Force one gets used maybe once or twice a week. Elal's uses thier planes almost 24/6. That's one of the reasons that so often they have mechanical related delays.

Age of planes and subsequent flight delays are very relevant to thier image.
For all thier talk of safety and security, I am very nervous to get on a plane that old.

Air Force One should be capitalized.
