How do you do that?!?

You really expect him to post it publicly? Then some Chinese company will steal the technology and put Google and Amazon out of business.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

My cousin 20 yr old passed away on Thursday morning :(. Before He passed He requested they bury him in EY.  He is in the bottom of that plane. His family are all on top...
BD"E, awful.
That's the situation where most Rabonim would give a heter to even board late like yesterday.
But most people are taking that flight for convenience sake.

Am I likely to run into issues at TLV with a checked bag about 2 kg overweight?

Thanks.

I feel compelled to post this here, just as a counter. I flew LY006 and 005 last week with a large family group in Y. It was my first time flying LY Y in four years, and was an entirely different experience on both flights. The plane was the dream liner, which was comfortable and good even though we were seated in the last 10 rows for both flights. The soft product was spectacular. FA's went out of their way to make us comfortable, brought a large bottle of water and cups to my wife prior to take off just to have, and were overall very pleasant and eager to please.
As an aside they also don't bother with silliness like making you turn off your phone or straighten the seat back :)

Saw this this morning but didn't bother posting as the part about the haredim is basically a PR for LY, which is just a bunch a lies IMHO

Which part?
Accusing them of kissing up to Haredim is made to make them look bad to the general population.

Big fan of the 787 business seat. Really hope they don't screw it up somehow.

 Randomly came across this:

How come this didn't trigger the 8nflatable slides?
