3) Even though EL-AL have apparantly re-vamped there Economy Class, do you think they could do more ?

4) Do you think EL-AL could risk adding at least 2 inches of leg space in Economy ?

5) Do you think the tickets for Economy are fairly priced ?

6) Do you believe that they are keeping to their comitment since 1996 'to perform above and beyond' quality ?

7) Do you think the service in Economy was better in the past with EL-AL ? e.g. 1990;s, 1980's, 1970's. If you can, note an experience with them.
1) Same.
2) The crew in economy is professional and friendly.
3) The only place they are lacking in Y is the entertainment system. AVOD is pretty standard today and LY doesn't have it.
4) Considering that their tickets are more pricey and that they don't have AVOD, adding 2 inches in Y would compensate somewhat and would probably be a good decision.
5) Way overpriced. The cost of a flexible, upgradeable ticket is ridiculous and the availability of cheaper non-flexible fares is extremely limited compared to other carriers.
6) The price structure and fuel surcharges but a major damper on the otherwise quality product.
7) In-flight service in Y is considerably better today than any time in the last 3 decades.
