Cool. I don't remember seeing any trip reports (at least none of the main bloggers) that showed they were driven to plane (at least none that I saw from a quick search).
I was driven in Doha

To the plane or from the airport into Doha? Or both?

Meh. The first one gives at least a chance of getting lie-flat on the TLV segment.

LX is not automatically lie flat, although better chances.

TK by far best... The only thing worse than LH transatlantic is LH to TLV

I actually liked LH J more than TK J! (maybe because I was lucky & the seat next to me was empty?!)

Link

And learned something new as well..

I'm fairly certain this is outdated. The car from the terminal to the plane was from prior to opening of HIA new terminal (when all flights were at remote stands).

I flew the new LH J on a A330.
I didn't say that TK is bad, I said I liked the LH J over TK J, (I found the TK J a little narrower than the LH J).

Anyone flown SA A346 J? I know it's nothing compared to QR J, but just thinking of CPT-JNB-GRU on SA J then GRU-LAX on AA 787 J.

Also while I'm at it, how come QR has I0 from July 1-23, and I9 for all days before and after even if no one is booked on the flight for all flights to the US?

I figured that out myself. What's the likelihood of them removing the blackout dates?

After only flying Y, and J class, I just flew F for the first time, on LH A330. I can't say how this compares to other F cabins, bec. I haven't try them yet, but I really enjoyed my flight, and just wanted to thank everybody here that's helped me make this a reality.
