TLV's new terminal -- the old one will no longer be used -- opens on Nov. 2.
It is set up so that you go through the initial security (the questioning) and check in and then pass through a section called "Bye and Buy". This will be the country's third largest mall and offers a place where relatives and friends can accompany passengers after the check in process.
The final steps are Passport Control and screening -- which is a much shorter process in Israel than the TSA equivalent. Only passengers will be allowed into this section.
(There will also be a number of Duty Free shops after this final screening.)
