Starting Aug 1st, one daily LX flight between ZRH and TLV is operated by a 77W.
Interestingly, they aren't selling F on the route now. I wonder why, and who will get seated in the F cabin (it's just grey on the seating map)

How is this any different then the a330 they fly now? They have F that they don't sell.
HON members supposedly can sit in the F seats or you can pay about 300 Euro to sit there.

Correct. Never noticed that the a330 had F.
(Never available for award anyway, so not too relevant)

The sad part is that the other flight is moving to single aisle equipment.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I'm not by a computer now, but I'm quite sure the second flight is still a a330. Maybe you're confusing with the codeshared flight with LY?

It is initially, but if you check November the second flight is an A321.

They're also throwing in the A340 on some days.

But unfortunately not on the forth (a321). One of the best connection options to the US for a full J product with decent award availability

As seen on Kayak right now... Is AA adding a 5th freedom flight to TLV?  ;)
Seems like it's supposed to be Wizz Air. Not sure what the mistake is. Who ever heard of Air Bagan anyway...?

Nice to see YYZ finally on the horizon for a Dreamliner. I thought they were waiting for 787-8 deliveries. Perhaps maybe that's why they're reducing to 3x weekly.
But I wouldn't rely on any of this as accurate, until it's within 5-6 months of the flight. As we've seen in the past year, they keep changing their plans on which aircraft should serve which route.
