(I wonder if Virgin/Elal could work too?)
The problem with AF and AZ is they use A-320s between Europe and TLV which are too small and no place to stand so for the 5 hr flight its basically sit in your seat and dont dare to get up.
Biz is a JOKE as its Euro-Biz basically a Coach seat with no more leg-room.
Theres also OK Czech Air, as for KLM lousy connecting times into TLV and a 737.
BA uses Wide bodies into TLV with Lie-Flat Biz seats its a 767 or 777 between LHR and TLV, 2 flights daily.
As for having better availablity its always been the same only it didnt show AF on Co.com, maybe somethings up with CO wanting to get into LHR that has them changing how they work with AF. After all AZ,OK,KL, and even DL flights arent showing on .com
