EL AL Matmid - Hate to be that person... But...

Has anyone seen the El Al website lately? Specifically the "EL AL Terminals at world airports" section of the USA site?

El Al, do yourself a favor, you shouldn't advertise your homepage if it looks this horrid.

"Hong Kong International Airport LaAnt Au" (Is that supposed to say Lantau?)

"Destination: Istanbul
Airport: Only One Terminal
Terminal: Ataturk International Airport Yesilkoy" (enough said)

"Destination: Los Angelese
Airport: Los Angelese International Airport
Terminal: Tom Bradly International Terminal" (never knew Los Angeles could be so mangled)

"Destination: Miami
Airport: Miami International
Terminal: Flights Departure from concourse G
Flights arrival to concourse F
Baggage collected in concourse G(carousel No 11)" (This sentence needs to be so cumbersome?)

"Destination: New Ark
Airport: New Ark Airport
Terminal: Terminal B3" (Newark!) :rolleyes:

"Destination: New York
Airport: J/F Kennedy (JFK)
Terminal: Terminal 4" (It's not J or F Kennedy airport, nor are we talking about booking classes!)

"Destination: Zurich
Airport: Kloten Airport
Terminal: Terminal B" (This may be me, but people still call it Kloten Airport?)

"Destination: New Ark
Airport: New Ark Airport
Terminal: Terminal B3" (Newark!)

New Ark : Please note in New-Ark we offer mini-Arks to transfer you from the terminal to our rented out party space in a hotel.

Glad you posted. I saw that the other day and thought it was just me. :eek:

(This may be me, but people still call it Kloten Airport?)

Yeah, actually I think many people still do call it that.
(Or maybe it's just that I hang with some really unhep folks. :o )

Well I am from the pre-JFK generation :)

So were you close friends with Orville and Wilbur? ;)

Destination: Leningrad
Airport: Polokovo Airport
Terminal: Terminal 1


Didn't the city change it's name a good few years ago?

Destination: Bangkok
Airport: SUVARNABHUMIAIRPORT
Terminal: Passenger Terminal Building, Departure Hall, Level 4

Shouldn't there be a space somewhere?

Another good laugh for me before I go to bed... :D

LY Insider, perhaps you can draw someone’s attention to this?

I guess they are able to turn a profit ($31M) by cutting back on proof-editting:

On my first trip to Israel, nearly 20 years ago, I was amazed at the poor quality of the transliterated and translated English. Even though my Ivrit is not much more than siddur-level, I told my wife that if she somehow talked me into the aliyah thing, I knew what my new career would be...

After I set up a frequent flyer reward trip for my parents, my dad asked,

"Are we flying out of Idlewild?"

I had no idea what he was talking about.

The Airport used to be called Zürich - Kloten (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Airport). There is nothing wrong calling it the same today. It gets worse, when you find out that there are two airports in Frankfurt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_Airport_%28disambiguation%29).
I thought, that El Al is processed on the E-Terminal?
But that´s maybe the reason, Israir is flying this route as well.

1. You now have to change your password every 90 days. When you change it is - whether correctly or incorrectly it asks you "Logg off"? Didn't know it is spelled with two Gs.

2. In Firefox, the account report is not formatted. Just a stream of letters and numbers. I guess it is no longer standard practice by Web designers to test out their web pages on IE and Firefox.
