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.
I for 1 had no idea what Natbag was and thought it was some town near TLV LoL, and thats with having lived in Israel for 14 yrs and getting over there 3-4 times a yr every yr to boot

The 179 is a great price, last yr I reserved Nesher fora Motzei Yom Tov p/u and yep they never showed up and claimed I never made a res, most drivers wanted 300 and wouldnt go down a grush . Finally a cabbie took me for the 200 I had. I usually have a rental so theres no problem
