Assuming you want to fly business class
Then Swiss. Because they are the only airline flying real business class from Europe to TLV , the other airlines just have the middle seat blocked off

Swiss. They are the only ones with lie flat seating from Europe to TLV.

They dont fly it every day, and even less so during the winter. Lastly, even if it says its a wide body aircraft, they can swap last minute.

On all of their aircraft or only specific ones?

If I didn’t care so much about the short haul leg in Europe, where would Swiss tank vs the others?

Thanks so much!

A330, A340, 77W.
Even without that, Swiss is still the best IMO.

Look at the post above mine.

Not considering the Short Haul, OS and LO beat LX.

I didn’t mention United Polaris direct as they’re at 180k a leg. What are the odds of saver award ever opening up?
