I've seen on the ben gurion airport website that if you are flying with only hand luggage you can go straight to the security for the gates and bypass the checkin area in the terminal.

Does anyone know whether you can do that if you are flying a low-cost carrier where you checkin at Terminal 1 and then they bus you back to Terminal 3? As I've already checked in online, I have no checked baggage - do I really need to shlep to Terminal 1 so that they can bus me back to Terminal 3?

Specifically flying Easyjet in this case, but I would imagine the same question applies for the other low cost carriers from Terminal 1.
