I had a chance to fly to israel for a business trip and I took El-Al Airlines flight LY-072(i hope , I remember the name correctly !) from Mumbai to Tel-Aviv.
Well , to start with , the flight was on time , but initial questioning by El-Al Airlines officials at Mumbai Airport , at the time of check in, was something too much. I know that they have security related reasons to do that , but some how , I feel it was un necessary. May be , I was flying to Israel for the first time and dis was the reason , my questionairre took some what more time.
Any ways , the aircraft was a Boeing -747 and the air-hostesses gave a warm welcome to the guests on board. By the way , The pilots of El-Al airlines are highly skilled , having experience of flying fighter jet planes for Israel Air Force .The food was hot and tasty , with both , veg (pasta ) and non-veg options. I really liked the pasta.
The drinks offered were wine, beer , coca cola etc with cookies .Some hebrew movie was played on big lcd screen in the plane (i wud have liked a hollywood movie..)
The flight reached Tel-aviv on time. I was really impressed by the security and in-flight services offered by the airlines . I would recommend El-Al airlines to everybody flying abroad.
