About El Al (from Wikipedia):
El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. (TASE: ELAL, Hebrew: אל על נתיבי אויר לישראל בע״מ trading as El Al (Hebrew: אל על, "Upwards", "To the Skies" or "Skywards", stylized as ELעלALאל; Arabic: إل-عال), is the flag carrier of Israel. Since its inaugural flight from Geneva to Tel Aviv in September 1948, the airline has grown to serve over 50 destinations, operating scheduled domestic and international services and cargo flights within Israel, and to Europe, the Middle East, the Americas, Africa, and the Far East, from its main base in Ben Gurion Airport.
El Al is the only commercial airline to equip its planes with missile defense systems to protect its planes against surface-to-air missiles, and is considered one of the world's most secure airlines, thanks to its stringent security procedures, both on the ground and on board its aircraft. Although it has been the target of many attempted hijackings and terror attacks, only one El Al flight has ever been hijacked; that incident did not result in any fatalities.
Boeing 787 (from Wikipedia):
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an American wide-body jet airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After dropping its Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional 7E7 on January 29, 2003, focused on efficiency. The program was launched on April 26, 2004, with an order for 50 from All Nippon Airways (ANA), targeting a 2008 introduction. On July 8, 2007, the prototype was rolled out without major systems and experienced multiple delays until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009. Type certification was received in August 2011 and the first 787-8 was delivered in September 2011 before entering commercial service on October 26, 2011, with ANA.
At launch, Boeing targeted 20% less fuel burn than replaced aircraft like the Boeing 767, carrying 200 to 300 passengers on point-to-point routes up to 8,500 nmi (16,000 km), a shift from hub-and-spoke travel. The twinjet is powered by General Electric GEnx or Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 high-bypass turbofans. It is the first airliner with an airframe primarily made of composite materials and makes extensive use of electrical systems. Externally, it is recognizable by its four-window cockpit, raked wingtips, and noise-reducing chevrons on its engine nacelles.

Please be aware there are users pretending to be you on here, trying to scam your subscribers 😩 i hardly ever comment on TH-cam so didn’t know how easy it is to get scammed. Wanted to give you a heads up
@@dorinbentley what address or account are they using?
Thanks for letting me know Doz!
Go back to Turkish Airlines. for international they went make to old large menus for business class.
Źź
When you mentioned anti-missile tech., I knew immediately that it would be El Al!
I appreciate that you commented on the softness of the seat. It’s not often mentioned and I find it super important in determining how comfortable the bed is. Hard seats have prevented me from sleeping in business class at times and it has ruined the experience. So thanks for the info!
I flew El Al about 10 years ago from Newark. The security was unbelievable. After regular screening they have their own much tougher screening where they ask all kinds of questions. My friend was pulled for additional screening because a box of dominoes in her luggage looked suspicious. They made her go through her luggage. They wouldn't touch it. On the way back to the US I was pulled because of some books I had packed in a stack. They told me I should have spread them around. They were polite but very serious.
Wow! Why are they like that though?
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 Because they are a target for terrorism. I actually felt very safe after all the screening. I believe they are the safest airline in the world.
@@IamSnowbird noted. Why do terrorists want to hurt them? Anywhere I can read up on this? TH-cam channel perhaps?
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 It is Israel"s national airline. Unfortunately there are many people in the world who don't think a Jewish state should exist. Goole Israel conflicts.
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 good question haha
I want you to know that I'll likely never fly anywhere again as my circumstances just don't allow for that, but I love watching your vlogs. So I'm living vicariously through you. Keep flying and I'll keep watching. Always be safe young man!! Enjoy your life, I'll be watching!!
Aw thank you so much Teri!❤️
I flew El Al way back in the 90s as a kid and back then they served breakfast with bunch of chocolate. Aka kid me was so happy. Obviously it has been many years but it's nice to see someone reviewing this airline and to know it is still a good airline after all these years.
bet you're a big fan of the trains running on time too
@@rexiioper6920 If it is a commuter train, yes. Places to be and all. I don't see why this matters with my comment.
Economy is actually really good on the 787 El Al because you get a tv
That’s on almost every airline
Hey Dan! love this video, wondering if your planning to do a Emirates premium economy tour soon! Looking at different options for my travels at the end of the year and would love to see all my options before I book, especially from you as your reviews are my go to !!
Nice call - given the price increases likely to be coming, I guess many of us will be giving up on affording Business. It might be nice to know what Emirates offer versus EVA's PE on the LHR-KKK route.
Or Qatar Airlines. I have flown all of them. Stay away from Etihad…
@@jbs3144 agreed - I haven't heard the best things about them from friends.
@@stevierussell6588 just flew them due to a time conflict. Normally fly Qatar. I was in shock how poor the biz lounge was. The restroom smelled like a barn and the food was what you would see at a Holiday Inn…
The cabin aesthetic is absolutely beautiful!
I specially enjoy that you present the positive and negative points. Very honest.
Best El AL joke coming up.
An El AL flight attendant is serving dinner. She asks the passenger in a strict and direct voice with an Israeli accent:
-Do you want dinner!?
-What are my choices? The passenger asks.
-YES or NO!!! 🤣🤣
This business class is definitely one of the best middle eastern business class thank you Dan for a very nice reivew
As it turns out, the El Al 787 has slightly different seats than United. It is equipped with the Recaro CL6790. The products are very similar and I like both seats!
Thanks Dan. I always enjoy your great reviews. Best to you and Oskar, David
Oh I love ❤️ EL AL✈️🇮🇱
Cool to see Ikaria, Greece airport from the air @11:00... Not too often we get a view of this somewhat remote island!
*Great Video, a really good insight into the airline*
Nice review. It's not the same seat as Polaris though - Polaris seats are made by Safran/Zodiac Aerospace. El Al uses the Recaro CL6710 seat model in Business class.
Love watching your videos learn a lot from watching your travel videos keep up the good work 😍
My friend flew with this carrier. A very orthodox man was seated next to her and had a fit, saying she was unclean (her period) even though she went through the menopause years before. He would not sit next to any woman and insisted he was upgraded to first. The cabin crew were having none of it. They absolutely would not upgrade him no matter how loud he got. Eventually a fellow passenger offered to swap seats so he was sitting with two men.
Thats awful 😞
Aaah......Good old misogyny masked behind religious belief. Lucky lady is all I can say, since this man got shifted. And clearly the El Al crew saw through the attempt at an upgrade. Ladies, be sure to get your packets of tampax out and placed them somewhere conspicuous if you want more space 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately I’ve heard similar stories from friends before
@@whateverwhatever18
It isn't exclusive with ElAl, rather it happens on many flights between Israel and New York. It is also a very small minority of religious people, as most will sit in their assigned seats.
The only problem is that El Al isn't as quick to call police to kick off passengers as like United would.
@@avrahamhirsch2724 yes not all stories I’ve heard have been on one airline. And of course this is only a certain type of religious person who misbehaves, most don’t do this.
Hi Dan,
I from Germany, and belive me to fly with any airline in the world except Lufthansa is a blessing!
I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with Economy class Lufthansa
I have to agree with this, I also dislike Lufthansa. Always some delay or cancellation issue or some square approach to things with no flexibility.
Personally, I can't complaint about Lufthansa...
As an American who frequently visits family that was long lost at one point, Lufthansa has been my number 1 go to for German and Austrian routes. Greetings from Oregon.
Agree. Rather fly North Korean airways than LH
I prefer isle seats to window seats as I prefer to easily get up to use the bathroom or walk the isle when I’m getting jittery. So I go for isle seats.
There actually is a priority line for security if you are flying business class. It's to the right of the regular security line.
I love your honest re view on different airlines companies 🙏♥️
And I do agree with your comment about the looks of Ben Gurion airport. But food is okay and affordable. In fact it is quite simple and easy - nothing like CDG, LHR or FRA
Fascinating! It’s a long time since I’ve flown El Al so it’s very interesting to see how it competes. Reassuring to see that they’ve produced a highly competitive product and that you enjoyed the flight!
I was so pleasantly surprised to see this video! Also that 🥗 looked great
Oi så kul at du var her og reiste med El Al!!! Som alltid, takk for ærlig anmeldelse😊🔥
Thanks for the Glimpse of the Airport in 2022! I miss this place!
nice! gotta love businesses class
Great content, very professional and to the point
It’s actually a different seat from Polaris. This are made by Recaro and are the same as the ones Tap uses. The United ones are by zodiac.
I love this vid! Really wanna travel soon!
Delta from JFK BOS is also a good product. Has the new delta one suite.
Love it, so great seeing you fly El Al! From what I can see in your video the United seat is much more private which is something I absolutely love about Polaris but you're right it looks more high end here.
Where do you get the graphics for the plane layout? Those are amazing and so useful when selecting a seat!
Lol. The "snooty flyer" comment about wearing shorts is directly related to Curb your Enthusiasm. Larry FTW!
Good solid review. Fair I think and we’ll balanced. I agree that meal looked delicious! Happy Trails, my friend!
I felt that way about the CDMX domestic terminal as well - felt like a local bus stop!
Loved the constant transitions haha! From presentation of food to presentation of the amenity kit to wifi :P
This is the first review of El Al that I've seen so that was great!
Sam Chui did one. Not the most reliable source, he gets in the crew’s faces and he would have needed a lot of permission to film so extensively.
@@davideck I tend to avoid those kind of reviews primarily because they tend to be funded by the airline and its authenticity isn't something I can stand by.
No hate though-his videos are still entertaining.
Can we just appreciate this butter smooth landing🥵 damn rynar take notes
Good review as always
Dan I love your vids because u gave me suggestions for my next business class flights
Love the cabin. Nice relsxing colours.
The colouring of the cabin is like an ode to the desert but in a high end chocolate brand vibe. 🙂
Awesome job dan thumb up for an awesome review
Thanks!
Their long-hauls are the best!
Glad you're back baby!
Had to use the mirror just yesterday when a contact lens fell out due to the dry air!
Hi Dan, hope your enjoying all the trips this year. Thank you for inspiring me to travel more, I'll have been to my 7th country this year.
Thank you Dan!!! That is very sweet of you! What is it ?
@@SystemaAlpha That’s not him
3:13 - A quick fun fact, the reason why the pathways are built so weirdly is so no matter which way you are going you are always going downhill. It's kind of genius if you ask me
Great Review Dan! Well done!
Your videos have been quite helpful to me. Thank you.
@ᴛᴇxᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ Nonstop_Dan
Hello and thank you. I tried to message you on your different platforms, but I haven't got a response to let me know if I did it right.
Hey Dan actually I wanted to ask you about points actually how do you get these points/miles I have been travelling the last 12 yes of my life back and fro from Doha to Bangladesh(Dhaka) almost 3 times a year so I must have a lot of miles how do I use them.
Would love to try their business class👍
Wonderful review as always! I at least Definitely don’t hear too much about El Al in the aviation’s world.
Thank goodness for that. May the ostracism continue.
Very good video on an Airline I dont know a lot about
Great content as always. First time seeing an ELAL review.
I send you message using Telegram and received a message saying that I won a mountain bike
Thanks for this vlog. Safe travels. Ciao.
Some lounges in Aus get packed too.. its usually due to super cheap people who would rather that and a free meal than space….. when they are that packed, I tend to leave them and go find space and food in the general area.
Love the video, keep travelling Dan 👍✈️
@Nonstop Dan well done you have 590K Subscribers!! I super love your flight report video!!
Missed your videos so much! ❤️
Is it cheaper to buy upgrade to business at check in
Fab video Dan!
Thank you Dan 😉❤️👑
Great video Dan
Nice touch with that 180° view of Ikaria 😎
when u mentioned anti missile systems i knew it would be El Al
This was so funny to see, because I always avoid flying El Al (in economy): their prices are never competitive, and their service generally sucks- if I’m going to be cramped in a plane for a bunch of hours the least the cabin crew can do is be friendly. 🙃
It is a shame you have had that experience. I’ve flown LY several times both short haul and long haul. I’ve always found them very friendly but not over the top.
It is authentically Israeli, casual but caring and anything you need they are more than happy to accommodate.
I like that they are different though, I also Ike that they are true to their 'Sabra' nature, Kosher and the only Jewish airline (full service). I also feel remarkably safe travelling with them. As a Jew flying into and out of Israel, they are the only airline I’ll ever fly with.
I have not flown Israir as I don’t like LCCs at all, nor do I like flying on Airbus rubbish. I have flown Arkia a number of times domestically on their Dash-7s, ATR-72s and E190s when Sde Dov/Dov Hoz airport in northern Tel Aviv was operational. They are unremarkable and quite forgettable but a great way to see Israel from the air, especially from Haifa to Eilat.
Ultimately though what can you expect on such short flights?
Wishing you safe and enjoyable flying whomever you chose to travel with.
@@sydyidanton5873 authentically israeli = killing indigenous people whilst pretending to be victims, SAA had the same spirit.
Lovely presentation...
That wing looks dangerously short in Business Class! :-)
Its nice that you can bring water through security tho
I don’t think these are the same as Polaris… Polaris is based on optima, while this is a totally different seat by Recaro… but the configuration is similar indeed
Go Dan Go! Happy Con Trails!
I think I'm the only one who uses the mirrors because it helps me while I'm putting in/taking out my contact lenses, haha.
“oh by golly”😂
The phrases "Safest airline" and "missile flares' don't exactly exude confidence.
Also how Israel treats the indigenous people and it's neighbours means there will be repercussions for Israelis.
@@MoniqueRBucknerSo we’re just gonna forget that Arabic is not the indigenous language of any countries outside of the Arab peninsula. That includes Israel, Lebanon etc.
Its wild that in 2022 you really MUST start a video like this with "this aircraft has anti missile system"
El Al has had anti missile systems on their aircraft for decades.
@@Alex-yy8ng The pure fact itself doesnt change the sadness of it....
Yeah. with Ben Gurion being the most targeted airport in the world, it makes sense I guess.
@@djtexas4993 True, but its still sad.
The result of what Israel has done since 1948 to the Palestinian people and it's neighbours. Plus occasionally assassinating individuals across the globe.
Great review of El AL.
I was surprised they let you video their plane.
I am guessing the lounge was full because other airlines share EL AL's
Dan you were very smart with the ad timing at 6:27
As a Southerner I laughed out loud at your pronunciation of 'pecan.' 😆
Also - I was contacted by email by a hacker who identifies as NonstopDan1 offering me a Mac air and power supply who then asked me to contact 'you' through a Telegram account with that tag. After I turned down the 'gift' the hacker asked me if I would like to contribute to help giving stuff away.
You probably encounter this stuff all the time but I wanted you to be aware this was happening. I'm certain I wasn't the only target.
Great video Dan. It's great that you are showing different airlines that are not super known to the public keep it up. Also what is with your Airfrance a350 review?
It’s my next video - so sorry for the long wait!
@@NonstopDan Ok thanks definitely one of the most honest TH-camrs keep it up
@@NonstopDan the thing is you said we are not going to talk about political stuff, but then again you’re helping to k1ll innocent people
@@NonstopDan I do love your videos and I’m subbed but I cannot support this
@@muizHD It’s a difficult issue, Muiz. Dan examines that to some degree on another channel.
You were lucky.. after a smallish lunch on SAS Business, I asked if , may I have a seconds.. 'That's for us crew'' blurted the Skanda-hooligan steward.
Keep up the good work sir
Love you from Singapore 🇸🇬
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much! Sending love back to Singapore😍
What was the ticket price?
These are not the same as United Polaris seats. These seats from Recaro Aircraft Seating. The layout is familiar.
Nice flight review.
On this video I didnt want Oscar to get the less good seat we gave him an oxygen tank and out onto the wing he went
Nice travel Vlog.
Wonder if frumps airplane has top secrets on it like his house.. Been missing your vid's so glad to see one at long last!!
Lack of air vents... Really you know that strip along the window side of the overhead bins are actually air vents right.
I think Oskar should get the even seats sometimes. lol.
nice video!
Hi dan I was wondering can you ride a PHILIPPINES AIRLINES from Hong kong to manila?
This is the first ever review I have seen of this airline.
Sam Chui did a review in 2019.
Hi dan, can u pls do a airfrance (af225 / a350) from Delhi to Paris economy review ,,, love ur videos btw
