Have used the services many times so have great experience

Arriving into TLV - No not at all, using the premium version of this where you get a car to take to you immigration is a waste of time and in my experience takes either longer or the same amount of time

Departing from TLV- It can be very hit or miss. I have had it where i have been rushed through very quickly but i have also had it where it has taken far longer to undergo the security cheeks, this is because your escort pretty much has to convince a security personal to do the questioning when sometimes they refuse to.

Other problems that i have experienced with this service is that not all of the airlines accept that you are being escorted and will not allow to skip the check in queues. (Often resulting in a typical 'Israeli' argument between airline staff and escort)
