New German airline called TLV-AIR to start HAM-TLV 2x week route.

https://www.tlv-air.com/

https://www.ynet.co.il/vacation/flights/article/skdnjb30u

Plans are to start the route in September and later add flights from other German cities to TLV.

Is this a first? A foreign airline focused on travel to TLV (or even globally, an airline based in one country focusing on a single destination in another country in such a way)?

RT non-stop in Aug/Sep from 710 econ (UA/DL) and 2200 in J (UA/AA)
I guess not too much demand with all the current restrictions

Hard product UA, soft product DL. For couples I find DL product horrible.

I think Hard counts the most (for me)

Als a bit nervous about the DL hold times if we need a change

If the hard product is most important I would probably go with UA. I am not a fan of the DeltaOne suites. (AA actually has a pretty decent hard product, except if you're unlucky to get on an older 777-200ER instead of the newer 777-200 which they usually operate on the route).

Mazel tov!!

I'm honestly not how much of a demand there is, Bahrain is a tiny country
