Overheard FA (on a B6 flight last week) stating that B6 would be flying to TLV in the near future. I highly doubt there this is realistic, but just in case...

She also mentioned that BOS will be the launch US city.

Could you give us a Rashi on why you feel that way?

A. They don't own planes that can fly there.
B. Even if they did buy planes that could fly there, you wouldn't start by flying so far. You would start with mainstream and closer LON/AMS/CDG and grow from there.
C. Modern narrowbodies can fly to LON/AMS/CDG, but they can't to TLV.
D. FA talk is pretty much the least reliable source of airline route intel.

Which B6 partners operate out of LHR?

I personally would prefer STN but I don't think that will happen.
