On iberia business class from tlv  to europe it would be  a 332 and 321 aircrafts.  On ba it would be 777 and 320.  Which is better, any fully reclining  seats.  Which is best experience?

IB a330 would be best.

HELP NEEDED: I'm looking for someone with a paid subscription to Flightstats or another way to get historical data on United flight departure times. STORY: I was supposed to fly on UA90 on 3/21 to TLV but was delayed to the airport because of the blizzard. I was denied boarding due to "missed flight" when in fact the flight was delayed until 1.23am that night as I was advised by United on that night. When claiming for compensation, agent is denying flight was delayed. What's the best way to prove I'm right?

In reference to air Europa as I mentioned upthread. Experimented today and found this, fb website is just crap, pricing on calendar doesn’t match nor does availability. Anyway I found tlv-jfk on ux for 62 k +$220 yq it didn’t show up when I searched business only when searching economy 🤨 it wasn’t on the day they fly the 787 and the first leg was on y it also had the details messed up , showed tlv-mad as 8:30 flight time and mad-jfk 5:00.
Point? Flying blue is messed up , but when playing around I believe you can score a good deal ex tlv on lie flat the whole way
If anyone has any more experience please share

Try flightaware. It's free. That flight left at 2:13 AM, over 3 hours late.

Apparently ELAL might be having second thoughts about SFO.

Assuming it was only announced for Maimon to be able to add to his list of accomplishments. Now that he's out, it's time to get real...

Problem with that prophecy, is that UA will be operating the 788 again, by the time El Al launches the route

That will definitely depend on demand. But UA has several built in advantages at SFO over LY. Can't figure out the strategy of fighting UA where they already have an established route, rather than beating them with ORD service (even though UA has built-in advantages there too, but at least they haven't established the route yet).

Not disagreeing. Just explaining that El Als backing out has nothing to do with UA putting the 77w on the route, but rather because it probably didn't make much sense to begin with.
