Sure, and if I am to chose between TLV and DXB, I would not hesitate a second to pick TLV since I am not a big friend of this disney land they have build on sand there.

But since there is no direct flight between TLV & DXB, LY has kind of a problem as a larger regional operation..

It would be IMO rather a niche carrier for a for a rather select target group.

The dawn of he A350-900R is the dawn of aircrafts which can reach the most remote locations non stop, so for that plane to land in TLV while en route from LHR to SYD (for example), is rather unlikely, given the high costs for taxing, starting, airport fees and so on.

If there is a non-stop option and one with a layover, not everone smokes like I do or likes to have a cafe on beach front TLV, so, these east/west l/h connections will likely get impacted by a/c like the A350-900R, don't you think so? The original date was 2014 and it has gotten postponed, but they will roll out the first A350's is this year.

With this profiling issue, since I lost my virginity, for me its not a problem, but there are an increasing number of people out which don't even like to get profiled by google (me included, just cancelled last month my fake account because they had gotten from somewhere my real birth date!?!) so to think they would love to be profiled @TLV, even with all the sentimental stuff spooking through their mind and soul.

Perception is reality...that's not going to be easily changed by technology...
