TLV-HKG - always 777 and those do not have premium economy.
upgrade on the plane from economy to biz if seats available - can be done for 700$ per leg.
According to the seat map I am on the plane that has only biz on the upper deck and premium economy is where the lower deck biz seats used to be.
What is even weirder tho is i rang el al and requested a seat in row 12 because i know those seats in premium economy have the most leg room and she said there is no row 12 and she can only see or access rows 13 and 11..
I do definitely want to sleep on the plane but sounds like it's not worth the money to upgrade so I probably won't. Will just make do..it's a shame there is no premium economy on the way home..and most of all it's a shame El Al is so inferior comfort and seating wise...i guess that's why it was the cheapest ticket!
