M"ikkur Hadin, ELAL places a tefach between the meis and aron, this stops the Tumas Ohel, so you would be able to fly any ELAL flight to Israel.
im not sure what you mean, are you suggesting that elal removes the meis from the casket and repacks it?

No, if there's a tefach between the meis and cover of outer box it breaks the tuhmas ohel, so the passengers aboard the plane won't be tomeh.

As far as United from Newark, they will take meisim on BOTH flights, I just spoke with them today.

Lol. You guys may not know R nissin Kaplan,  but he's a chashuva person.  Nevertheless there are many funny stories said about him. (About his original ideas for heterim in helpless situations)

But I'm still proud to be from clev!

Kohain flying on UA flight.  Do they accommodate if there is a meis on board? If I call ahead to ask, would they know what I'm talking about?
Anyone have recent experience?

I heard from a prominent posek that whatever measures Elal puts in place most likely don't work, so definitely ALOR
