El Al vs United Polaris....
« on: May 07, 2023, 07:18:21 AM »
Hopefully, I put this in the right thread.  If not, please PM me and I will delete and re-post in the appropriate section.

Planning my first trip to Israel from Tampa.  Long distance travel is hard so I need to make it the most comfortable experience possible.
Therefore, flying business class.

Looking at flights that have the shortest flight times and most ideal landing/take off times (important so that I acclimate to time zones as easily as possible), I see the best options are United and El Al.

The reviews for Polaris are everywhere but I don't see anything about El Al in comparison.

For a long-time, I recall reading that everybody was slamming El Al for their lack of customer service during covid refunds but I don't recall discussions about the service/experience itself.  Comfort in business class or On-time history.

Would somebody please comment?

Thanks in advance.
