This is not related to El Al (stands for: Every Landing Always Late). This is related to TLV Airport.

And, yes, the Israel ‘experiance’ begins with booking your flight on El Al and the (lo dati) Israeli attitude.

#4 you are 30 years behind the times. Over the past decade El Al has dramatically improved their service and now is comparable to Continental and Delta. This from someone who flys regularly and takes whichever airline is most convenient.
#4 and #6: the issue is not El Al but the Israeli Airport. It affect all airlines equally.

Are the saftey concerns cited by the FAA terrorist related or just congestion related?

And how terrorist safe is the new airport?

of late past 3 weeks since sukkos those who have traveled EL-AL are aware of delays of up to 3 hours
this past monday nights jfk 1150pm flt 008 took off early tuesday with everyone being put up in the jfk ramada hotel w/o being told the reason
for the delay “welcome TO ISRAEL” starts when flying ELAL
stick with CONTINENTAL or DELTA the airlines who appreciate your business and show it
EL-AL’S attitude is theyre doing you a favor by letting you fly with them
typical ISRAELI ATTIDUDE
untill they get their act together realizing that they are in a service industry and must offer at least a minimum degree of service their flight loads will keep on decrease
signed someone very familiar with el-al for over 30 years

Derech Ha’teva…..

Its about time the Izzy govt take this seriously. We constantly hear about “near misses” at TLV. A “near miss” is a NEAR HIT!

Would this prevent a possible reestablishment of service by a “discount” carrier between North America and Eretz Yisrael. While there are some serving Tel Aviv, they fly only to Europe, and the “normal” carriers such as El Al can be a expensive.
