+1000
Who are they marketing them to?
I'd love to see ads for those "business" seats. Imagine a flight attendent in a short tight uniform proudly standing in front of the empty middle seat wearing a huge smile while two 30ish buisnessman are peacfully asleap on both sides.
SOLD!!!

That's the equivalent of a no-sweaty-person-near-you-guarentee.

i only see BA flying A321 (Ex MBI planes with coffin club world lie flat) LHR to TLV.

BA is flying 2 A321's daily LHR TLV and 1 b777
For now the 777 has first class too, but that is being discontinued and replaced with a 3 class b777.
So from may no more first from ba to tlv

I booked LX255 - officially they fly the A340-300. How will i know before i get to the airport if they do an equipment swap to the A320? And if they do an equipment swap, would they let me change to a different flight?

Are there any flights to thr U.S that can be booked with BA without YQ or ridiculous U.K taxes that have a real business class on the ex-TLV leg?

I think I saw yesterday on Seat guru that Iberia's codeshare flights with El Al (to Madrid and Barcelona) have real J (iberia flights themselves do not)

IB. Their J TLV-MAD is not a regular J but looks decent. Check it up on their website.
