on the app the cn-txa is marked as an a321-251NX as opposed to a321-251N so I checked the delivery dates of the aircraft and the CN-TXA is marked as brand new

Why do you say that? Also it may take a bit of time before they fully transition but at least they marketed the route to be real J

Seatmap showed the real J from the beginning and it kept on changing to EuroBiz each month for the following month. I had contacted TP and they either didn't know what's flying or didn't want to talk about this subject

I hear, but thats typical airline behavior (especially European) they are clearly not the most on top of things, with that being said they have the planes and started using them so I dont see why at this point it would be a "crapshoot"

Probably the wrong thread, but...

PSA: Long term parking has been eliminated from T3. Cars parked more than 24 hrs will be towed. Only option is long term lot and shuttle bus. (Or technically T1). Almost missed my flight due to this.
@moish there is a new service offering valet at terminal 3 on the level between arrivals and departures. You drop your car, and it's waiting for you when you arrive at the same location. Service costs 100 nis and parking is 40 nis a day like normal.

Any different than valet at a hotel?
Needs a reservation, but I assume if you called on your way to the airport it would be fine
For me, when traveling with my whole family, with bags and everything it's a no brainier. Instead of dropping everyone at the terminal, then going to park and on the way back stuffing everyone in the shuttle. Just so much more bnachas

A little bit different in that he knows you're away for quite some time, unlike in a hotel where you can pick it up any moment #ferrisbuelersdayoff

When travelling with the family, it's usually for more than a few days, in which case it just makes more sense for me to take a taxi

Take a picture of the odometer if you are that nervous. I wouldn't worry unless you have a really, really nice car like a Mazda 6  ;)

Havent they downgraded the route from the 350-0 to the 350-9? At least on the flights I have been with them, it used to be on the 10 and now its back to the older 9. I figured they are not selling as well.

Why dont you take a look and see how many times this Config was used since it was posted. (Hint: wasn't more than twice.)
