I have found the upper deck of the ElAl 744 to be comparable to CO's BF product. The lower deck does not compare however.[/QUOTE]

and the ELAL 777 seats are so bad...

I just landed from another CO flight (1A and 1L)
I dont think the uper deck in Elal has seats like in CO...
maybe row 77 has more room but not flat bed

the food in CO is 10 times better
the service is always the same good and eficiant
In eLAL IT DEPANDS ON THE STUFF.. some times very good and some times ...

Lior
but you are right about free tickets... hard time with CO
