On occasion I definitely do, but this can be attributed to autocorrect.
Freudian slip.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Freudian slip.
Freud did research on AI?

or

AI is also susceptible to Freudian slips?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

And this is why I haven't gone out of my way to fly LY.
People will kvetch that I got special blogger treatment or that it would be better if I didn't order the SKML or...
Excuses, excuses....
C'mon, be a sport already. Maybe El Al will even send their chief flight attendant for you ;)
And maybe they'll even through in a bonus tweet of your TR into the package (if you manage to write the TR less than 4 yrs after flying, like Lucky)

Or maybe they'll even make a custom redemption option allowing @Dan to get a "bonus ticket" originating and returning to CLE with seamless connections (will probably have to be via YYZ where he would get the benefit of LY 767 experience.  ;) Or maybe they'll have a special equipment change knowing who's on board).

the people who are making jokes are mostly talking about economy where it's indeed a sad joke...

Huh?? What are you expecting him to review exactly?

And besides, El Al's redemption chart to most short-haul routes is far better than almost any *A or Skyteam chart for that region. To the US, perhaps they're a bit overpriced. But they aren't a US airline and their not necessarily trying to compete with the US programs. Also, El Al elites get far more FREE last minute upgrades based on empty space in J (same goes from J to F), than elites on the other airlines on this route.

(I hope I don't get banned from here for defending LY...)
Agree, their prices to Europe, especially in the winter are quite good.
And even if prices to the US are similar to revenue rates, they often up a lot of availability, s/t that can't be said for the others. So for a one way, they're a great option.

Very plain report, and I was expecting a separate post regarding arrival in TLV
If he was on the road within 20 minutes, there's obviously not much to say.

I also ordered a sparkling water, though unfortunately they only had seltzer water.

ROTFL. I'm imagining him trying to explain this to an FA.
