The other question, forgetting them for a minute, anyone know of taxi companies servicing Jerusalem that will take me to Natbag for 150 or less? I'm leaving Jerusalem at 7 in the morning and in no mood to begin fighting with Nesher when I have more than a backpack, or have him pick me up and then proceed to drive all around Jerusalem before finally hitting traffic on Highway 1!

Thanks!

NATBAG??????? I know what you mean but possibly other people looking at this board are scratching their heads in wonder.

The correct name as I am sure you are aware is Ben Gurion Airport or TLV.
Natbag is the English version of its Hebrew acronym and has no place in civilized conversation. Even though it did appear for a while on road signs when Terminal 3 opened, it was laughed down and removed.
Yes I am aware of its real name, which is why the title of the thread is "Taxi from Jerusalem to BEN GURION AIRPORT..."! And it does still appear on road signs. By now, many of the people who are "pros" when it comes to advice about Israel on this board are pretty familiar with "Natbbag," and for those who have advice but were scared off, Natbag is TLV as pointed out by badatz

Thanks again!!
