The article also mentions Israel asking Oman for a different flyover route to Asia, further away from Iran

A bit tricky with Iran up north and Yemen down south

Interesting. That was the embargoed information that an LY contact  said to me that I hinted to upthread after 10/7.

Not allowing Israel to change its route is equivalent to removing flyover rights

I am hearing that the lines at Ben Gurion are nonexistent now due to the downturn in travel.
Just a year ago the pre-check in line (Right when you walk into the airport) was an hour long and I hear that now it’s 5 minutes. Can anyone confirm this?
I will be flying Elal at 5:45 A.M. and will not be checking bags. How long before the flight do I need to arrive?

Depends on the time on day, if you don't check any bags just check in online (or at the airport kiosk) if you have a boarding pass you can proceed to area W for security questions. there's usually a very short line there.
