לכל זה התווספו גם מקרים מורכבים, כמו אישה חרדית שהארון קבורה של בעלה מוטס איתנו, ואם יגיע לארץ בשבת – חברת קדישא לא תוכל לאסוף את הארון;

This is an excerpt from a social media post by an ELAl Stewardess who was on the plane. Wow. That really sucks.

Up In The Air / Re: RJ Flight BKK-AMM Diverted to TLV; 118 Israelis on board allowed to disembark

« on: January 29, 2018, 01:10:08 PM »

A few interesting points...
A. Aprox 70% of the passengers were Israelis
B. If any non Israeli was on board but heading to TLV would they have allowed them off?
C. Did they unload Baggage?

According to TPG's snapchat, UA is going to be flying the new 777 with the new Polaris seats, EWR-TLV starting in May.

As per the ISM on my most recent UA Flight to TLV, They will start flying the 777-300 for the night flights (UA90,91) later this year.

Good Morning! Today is 2/29. If you booked a flight that wasn't exactly the time you needed/wanted, you can do a confirmed same day change for $50. I'm having a hard time using the FTR.

I was in EWR recently and it seems like Cibo Express has a new Kosher Stand in the secure area at Gate C138 (TLV Flights) They had many kosher sandwiches/ wraps under the star-k and a lot of Imported Israeli Nosh and Chocolate (Sorry Dan, No Doritos)

Not bad that's 20/30k Mr to fly y.   J is still 87.5 tho
Is thier availability good?

Winter Availability is wide open for their thrice weekly service. You still should factor in the YQ (355 RT).

I've read about it a while ago, it was one of the little known parts of the peace treaty between Israel and Eygpt.
I have a friend who booked with kayak and flew it a year ago, he says it wasn't worse than RJ
