Better get there before shabbos without luggage than not getting there in time for shabbos. I'd say El Al learned something from last week

When is the last time it happened? Spoke with someone flying DL JFK-TLV weekly, it never happened to him.

I had this summer I flew EWR-MUC, business class, checked in 2+ hours before, no connection, and somehow my 2 bags were left behind in NY, took close to 48 hours to get them

just because of the bad press lately... thought they would try to make it all right and do things normal for a while

Was wondering what all the craziness was on Friday after landing from HKG. Tens of Chasidim all surrounding the lost luggage desks by El-Al...I give them credit because there was no yelling screaming, everyone was very calm.

On a Turkish flight the connection was very short and the plane left late so we landed 25 minutes before the connecting flight to TLV. They tried scanning us thru onto the plane (I believe the doors closed already but we where 40 people) but it didn't work. The guy there called management to get the flight to allow boarding again but he got shut down due to "the suitcases won't make it on the flight". I know of many other situations on the same connection that they let people on even though suitcases didn't make it, but I assume there they didn't end boarding yet.

I didn't mind. Full EU comp (600 euro) and thier business class lounge.
I'm not who you think I am.
