the options were ai & ua since transit via schengen is still not allowed....this ruled out my regular dl/kl/af combination that i fly 7-8 times a year....i decided to go with ua this time....
did this route Aug 10.. experience at check-in is good..(I didn’t use the overalls) .. immigration and security great.. security at gate - horrible! No concept of social distancing.. either enter gate security early or last.. I waited outside till last call due to the massive collection of people (my flight was full in Y and J)
inflight - meal service is there but not multiple courses.. all at once in J.. no PDB.. Drinks available on demand.. before landing - breakfast available with hot drinks..
EWR - you land with the TLV flight.. seamless experience.. global entry was down for some reason so had to go to counter..
EWR is eerily quiet.. I made my connection to ORD on weekday morning and pin drop silence throughout
