El Al TLV Advanced Checkin
« on: June 28, 2022, 10:41:25 AM »
El Al is offering an advance check in at TLV airport the day before to save you time when you arrive.    This is only offered to Israeli Citizens.   

If you are flying business class, DO NOT waste your time doing this.   My father spent almost 3 hours going through 2 lines to check in and drop off bags.    There is no business class line and there is no way it would have taken this long day of in the business class line.

Even with the current insanity at TLV, cant believe it would take that long even if you were in the Coach line

I would avoid this!

Who knows in today's world.   A friend of theirs who left Sunday said it took them less than 20 minutes

I did it recently and it took a hour and 20 min!

Nice. So it seems like the long wait at the airport for El Al flights really only applies to economy passengers and not those flying business?

1h20m is insanely long, but yes, Elal has separate business check in and that line is shorter

I was talking about the business line and no 1 and 1/2 hours isn't normal!

Security is one big line and where a good chunk of the waiting is

I've used this service .
While it took me an hour, I was happy to wait solo the day before and having a relatively fast experience with my kids the following day at the airport
