I believe that all airlines out of tlv are badatz eida chareidis from masbia. (As long ad you request the mehadrin kosher)
On elal if you don't request it then its rabanut

Does anyone know if Virgin Atlantic offers kosher meals in the LHR Revivals lounge ?
I know they have in the regular lounge.

I also knew it was Rabbanut (heter mechira et al.) however my son just came from TLV and while he didn't get his own KSML, there happened to be an extra one for him, and to his great surprise it was Masbia / Badatz Eida Chareidis.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I was pleasantly surprised, especially since my son didn't follow my instructions to bring along food. However, I wouldn't count on it.

Don't overblow it. Had it x-LAX nothing exciting, was maybe better than AA but to make it sound like out of this world is not right.

NH ORD-HND F/J lunch/dinner (there's no difference in the KSML). Mostly awful food, catered by Emuna. Yes, that is a juice box.
