For me its the best option to catch Emirates as opposed to the TLV-AMM
LCA is also good for QR. The only problem (if using miles) is that LCA is Europe while AMM is Middle East. That could present an issue with region based redemption.
I'm still waiting for someone to renew flights from Atarot.
Who needs it? With the fast train to TLV it would not make sense.....Now from Haifa the HFA makes a ton of sense given the distance to TLV.
