  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ธ.ค. 2019
  • I flew on EL AL B787-9 Dreamliner Business Class from Hong Kong to Tel Aviv. This is a video review of EL AL B787 Business, Premium Economy and Economy Class products. The video shows behind the scenes on EL AL B787 operation from the cockpit and interview with cabin crew. EL AL B787 represents the Israeli airline's best long haul flying experience. All the food served on EL AL is Kosher.
    EL AL is also well known as the most secure airline with additional security measures such as interview and baggage screening.
    I flew to Tel Aviv in order to get on the last EL AL B747-400 to Rome and back. Don't forget to check out the last EL AL B747 videos:

    Most, if not all El Al pilots are all ex Military / Air Force pilots. This is also because their commercial planes are equipped with *missile defense systems* (flares, etc.) to protect its planes from SAMs / Surface to Air Missiles.

    Two things one needs to consider when flying EL-AL.
    1) The Pilots an almost certainly ex. Israeli Air Force, some highly trained tactical transport, most are figter pilots.
    If there is an inflight emergency, who would you feel more comforatable with in the cockpit ?
    2) EL-AL have the most stringent and prooven air port security procedures. Other airliners learn from Isreals practical experience.
    EL-AL might be a bit more expensive some times, but it's well worth it to know you're in the best hands in the buisness.

      I didn't fly El Al but went to Ben Gurion Airport to catch a flight out of Israel. Security was so strict that the security people literally rummaged their hands through my luggage (no item of clothing was exempt), interviewed me & asked what was I doing travelling with a group of people (I was with a tour group).
      This was the early 1990's & never had experienced airport security this thorough until after 9/11/2001.

I am, however, not able to be in business class, so that was interesting to see, and I also understand and am part of the Jewish culture, so it was fascinating to see everything from an outsider's perspective.

    I took El AL from Bombay to Tel Aviv in November 1995. I remember the month because Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated the day I left Jerusalem. Any way, I remember being interviewed by El Al security at the gate for several minutes. They asked me all kinds of questions, particularly where I had been for the past few months. I was in India from Indonesia and they were curious about my various destinations. It seemed annoying at first, but this is Israeli security at its best. Even an ant can't get through!

    Airport security at Ben-Gurion is super tight and not everyone is allowed to use the airport, sometimes you are checked even before you see the terminal building.

    Sam - as an avgeek it’s such a pleasure seeing your always positive vids and deep insight tours of the various flights/airports/special events etc. I know a lot of planning and hard work go into them and you’re not the average traveller by any means so we ordinary people won’t have the exact same extraordinary experience as you, however it’s truly inspiring and wonderful getting this unique look into the aviation industry.
    You have the best job anyone could ever wish for. Merry Christmas!

    Like so many words in Hebrew there is no direct English translation but El Al roughly translates to 'To the Skies' or 'To the Most High'. I'm so thrilled you've finally flown and reviewed LY! :) So thrilled you got to enjoy the final flight of that beautiful graceful bird, the only ever Queen of the skies - the mighty B747. So so sad to see them go but so many memories of flying on LY B742s and B744s. Yay! Good on you Sam, so happy you experienced the genuine Israeli and Jewish hospitality and hope you had a great time in Israel, one of many to come. I'm former QF crew and enjoy flying LY whenever I can and always when I head back to the 'Motherland'! Toda Raba and Chag Sameach (Thank you so much and Happy Holidays) Cheers :)

      El Al's unspoken meaning is: "upward (spiritually)." Because Jerusalem is surrounded by 7 mountains, going to the Temple in Jerusalem required going "up." El Al takes you to ISRAEL (not just anyplace), "up" to the Holy Land, both physically and spiritually.
