But now I saw what's more important to me - to feel at home הכי בבית בעולם.
Elal really is "Not just an airline, it's Israel" and the attitude I got on Elal (in Y but that's no excuse to treat your costumers like s**t) was unbelievable. Iv'e seen FA's refuse to help a 70ish year old woman with her carry on cause there "busy".
I don't know about the F cabin FA's but my impression is that a lot of the Y FA's are young Israelis that signed up to "see the world" and have a good time and that the passengers are just a means to that end and treated as such.
Israeli service in general is very low compared to European or American standards but at least in a restaurant, the waiter hopes for a tip and tries to treat you well. On Elal, no FA is expecting you to tip them and they don't lose anything by giving you bad service.

Food was inedible, crew was very not friendly, dark skinned and more on the bigger side ודי למבין.
Incredible comment, downright disgusting!FYI I feel like those scary "dark skinned and more on the bigger side" people you mentioned have more respect for my religious needs then the Israeli FA's on Elal that have an attitude of: "don't tell us what's Kosher, we know better then you"
I couldn't decide what appetizer I wanted, she told me "you lost your chance, I am on for the next pas."
Hmmm.. since when does UA give you a choice of strictly kosher appetizers?
