We are ticketed for Newark to Tel Aviv next May in BA First Class!
Very impressive. We'll wave if we see you in Israel. I'm thrilled with the award seats that I got with my AA miles for May 2011.
Outbound: first we fly from S California to Chicago, then ORD to Amman on Royal Jordanian in Crown Class (it's a 2 class plane)
Return: got the El Al NON-STOP from Tel Aviv to LAX in Business class. Brutal - 15 1/2 hours - but it still beats having to stop.
