I'm a hopeless romantic, there's just something so comforting about turning up to the airport in a foreign country and boarding an aircraft with a Magen David emblazoned upon it and adorned with Hebrew letters.
I don't disagree with that. The KDL is TLV is quite nice (As are the few others they have) and the soft product (They actually stock pretty decent wine onboard and the food is often pretty good particularly breakfast). Once they start YYZ with the 787 they'll be a better choice than AC for sure.
