11 and 12.
There is not much traffic, especially on red eyes. But the seats are narrower than on their other wide body jets

has the bulkhead window on the right got space to get out?

Anyone taken the ElAl flight from TLV to Boston? Is there entertainment system any good? I haven't flown them in years. My flight to TLV from JFK had me feeling like I was back in the 90s.

Took the 767 earlier this year. Older plane, no seat-back entertainment. They have an app to stream movies etc (free) - not sure how well that works.

Client has a LHR-TLV-LHR on LY.
Would LY interline bags with VS or DL?

Have you logged into your itinerary to see if you have "plusgrade" offer (bidding for an upgrade)?
alas, nothing :( gonna have to just hunker down in a smaller elal seat (but with better video hopefully) in coach.

You can always do a cash upgrade on board, I think they start at $700 but probably $1K+

Has anyone ever gotten in writing the maximum dimensions El Al will permit for a personal item to carry on board. (not the hand luggage allowance) The El Al site does not appear to have any mention of personal items and certainly I cannot find any dimensions listed. Emailed El Al multiple time but they choose not to respond. My concern is connecting through Europe that the US carrier to Europe will allow me to bring on board a personal item, that El Al may turn down once I get to Europe....

I am flying
El al on a Iberia ticket.  How do I pick a seat and meal on the el al portion.
Iberia says I need to wait until I get to the airport which makes no sense, especially for the meal.

Did you try to log into your LY reservation online?
