Ben Gurion International Airport
Ben Gurion Airport, referred to as TLV, (its IATA code, the commonly used code,) LLBG, (its IACA code, and generally used in conjunction with domestic flights,) or Natbag, (an acronym of its Hebrew name, Namal Teufa Ben Gurion,) is located in Airport City, Israel, in the Gush Dan region (greater Tel Aviv area,) about 15 km/9 miles from Tel Aviv, Israel's second largest city, and right next to the city of Lod.
It's about 15 minutes from Tel Aviv, Israel's second largest city. TLV is LY's only hub. (Though this may change if and when the new Eilat airport ever becomes functional, as well as Israel's second planned international airport.) TLV is also Israel's international gateway. TLV is a highly modern airport, and is also the hub for Israel's second largest carrier, Arkia, and third largest, Israir. Basically all of LY's operations take place out of Terminal 3, the newest and main terminal at TLV. (In general, ALL flights in and out of TLV take use Terminal 3 EXCEPT domestic ones and select flights from discount carriers such as easyjet, which use Terminal 1.) At TLV, LY operates a special check-in desk for First Class pax, and another for Business Class pax. These desks are also for ranking Matmid members.
Terminal 3 is one of few terminal in the world to offer unlimmited, high-speed wi-fi throughout the terminal, to ALL pax, FREE OF CHARGE.
