Each person with whom we had dealings was perfectly pleasant and very hospitable despite what BA state on their Israel destination guide. I would link to it here but it looks like guide links are down.

I would, of course, thoroughly recommend a trip to anybody. I am pleased to see that MCS? has already booked his ticket^ . Looks like you are going for a little longer than we spent over there. I am sure that you'll have a great time and will, no doubt, see much more of both Tel Aviv and Israel than we did.

^ ^ ^ Finer words could not have been said! Some of my friends think I am "nuts" for decompressing in TLV rather than somewhere like St. Barths...

But I digress, thanks for visiting TLV and not making it out to be the place it is described in the television. I flew that route on the BA777 several times. It is a GREAT hop. I actually look forward to trips I need to take on Shabbat as BA is always my "backup" on the JFK-TLV route.

I will be taking a BOS-FRA-TLV-FRA-JFK run soon on LH F (for work). Will try to emulate your excellent report.
