Hi, I'm going on a birthright trip to Israel in a week-and-a-half. I'm super excited! I've never been out of the country save a trip to Dominican Republic when I was young.

I'm flying out of Newark on a 747. There is another milestone -- as I'm from Long Island, I've never been to Newark before. What is the El Al terminal like at Newark? What are the amenities and meals offered on the flight? My departing flight leaves 2:30 in the afternoon and the return leaves Israel after midnight.

Thanks.
