Any word on the airline or how to book?
At this stage it's rumored to be TUS, that would operate non stop instead of stopping in LCA.

TA TikTik submitted a request to use TUS aircrafts for the direct flights - pending Qatar approval.

Starting in March 2023, Virgin Atlantic will be flying an A350 on TLV-LHR on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, instead of the usual A330. In J this will be a huge upgrade.

Since when do they use A330s? AFAIK they’ve been using 787s on that route.

Looks like a mix of both of them, either way A330 (non-neo) is very similar to the 787 with the old herringbone seats. The A350 and A330-neo are the updated products. Looking at the calendar now it seems they have 787 mostly scheduled on Wednesdays and A330 most other days.

Think this is the right spot for this post. Anyone flown the jfk-bos-tlv route on delta. How's the connection from terminal a to terminal e with needing to pass through security and no clear in terminal E.


What about for the return which is tlv-bos-lga. Will need to collect baggage clear customs in bos and then recheck onto lga?


Thanks!

I'm not surprised at all.
Airlines don't have the spare pilots or planes for a last minute venture, never mind all the red tape that would go into making this happen at the last minute.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Agreed.
That's why I thought that TUS could make it work by keeping current flights, and just change the route, skipping LCA.
But in any case, it was too last minute

United's ORD-TLV flight is returning to three times a week after the Tuesday flight on March 21. But the Tuesday flight is back on the schedule for next winter starting October 31. I don't understand why they would increase frequency over the winter and not in the summer.
