Hi Guys,
Have any of you flown on El Al’s 763’s?
How old are these planes and where did they source them from?
Also, is there any difference in the interior, or Seat configuration both in Business and in Economy?
Does the cabin look newer and brighter then on the old 762’s?
Thanks

Well after doing a flight on one I can report that the aircraft is far nicer then the regular Elal 767-200.
It feels more spacious (must be to do with the interior layout) cleaner and newer, with larger, roomier toilets.
They are definitely quieter too.
Seat configuration is different as well:
I made the mistake of booking row 21 which is the row behind business on the normal 767 and in my opinion the best seats in Y on these planes as row 30 which is the exit has just slightly more legroom and has the toilet in front of it which you can hear every time someone flashes it!
Anyway, 21 on the 767-300 is a normal row with no extra leg room, as row 20 is the first row behind business on these aircrafts, and the one to go for.
Also, both row 30 and row 31 are exit rows on these planes and row 31 has loads more leg room while row 30 has the standard little more (same as the normal 767)
I wonder if Elal plan to keep them, or return them to whoever they are leased from at some point.
