EL AL Matmid - Ly 744 Tlv-lhr

Does anybody know if the LY 744 that flies TLV-LHR is the same aircraft all the time? I will be flying in C on 11/3, morning flight and would like to know if it will be the old seats or the new ones. Would also like to know if it a 2 class or 3 class aircraft.

Does anyone know if all of the 744s are outfitted with wireless internet already?

AFAIK only some of the 777 are

But I thought I saw on El Al's website that one of the 744 will be done 11/1.

Hope this helps.

Is there a way to know exactly what aircraft I will be flying on an upcoming flight?

Not really no.
As to the specific 744 flying TLV-LHR, its not always the same one and for instance I flew the other day on a 3 class one but will be flying on a 2 class version in a few days time.

I will be flying on a 2 class one. Does anybody know if ELC is 2 class or 3 class?

El Al does not have a designated plane on any of it's routes so the answer is no. The LHR route can be on any widebody including the 767s and 777s. Only regular flights to JFK and HKG are guaranteed to to be on a 777 or 744.

What do you mean by new seats or old ones?
If you are referring to if its the "old" singapore seats or el al seats, then the best way to know is on the el al website. Check the flight details through the daily schedule. If the 744 has only CY, then it is the ex- SQ a/c. If the 744 has FCY, then its an original LY a/c.
For now, the original four LY 744 have 3 class (ELA, ELB, ELC, ELD). ELS (the "S" is obviously for singapore - just like AXQ, the "Q" is for Qantas) is the only one in a two class configuration.
