Ex-TLV Routes and Flights Discussions

With such a flight number, my guess is cargo.

Makes sense. Strange it’s appearing on IAA arrivals website.

That's the best outcome I can see here. Use them to book something.

Any ideas?

That's my guess. But indeed does seem odd

Not quite like Emirates' J, but it's a start

With ben gurion hopefully set to reopen for Israeli travel what countries can Israelis fly to where there is no quarantine needed in that country and no quarantine needed upon return home o Israel?

US and Belgium recently agreed to set up pre-clearance in BRU.

Any idea if this can ever be rolled out in TLV? Given the amount of daily passengers (at least pre-covid) one would think it could make sense.
But i guess it's not that simple..

I sure hope not.

I sure hope not.

Why?

Why?

1. Adds inordinate amount of time required before flight departure time.
2. Can't bring any food onto flight.
3. Requires secure section of terminal, typically without lounges or sufficient facilities.
4. Issues with immigration means you miss your flight.
And more...

5. For BRU it might be a precursor to narrow body flights into airports with no immigration facilities.

Which US airport without immigration could possibly support a flight to BRU?!?

But I don't see how that's a negative. I'd gladly fly CLE-EU on a narrowbody, as long as it has lie-flat J. But CLE has immigration.

LGA?

IDK. I'm no AVGEEK like you or some others here. (and I actually like LGA - but for the long taxi times).

Never noticed you can't fly LGA-LAX?

Thanks. So why would international airports want to add that?
