Thank you very much! Beer, Perrier, whatever.

Looks like, however, I will be on BA even though the miles from the trip will be awful. BA is Oneworld and hence all the perks. Swiss was supposed to be Oneworld by now but they are looking at later this Spring. Darn.

Plus, the BA fares from London were much better than on Swiss. $386US from London on BA vs. $700 something on Swiss from LHR.
ouch

I don't know of an Israeli to bring to the check in but if I find a nice one who will go with me, great. LOL

How interesting that bringing someone with me would make a difference. What, they tell the security people that I am a nice guy and to wave me through!?

I actually knew an ELAL flight attendant but I have lost touch with him. darn

Thanks
