Don't have all the details but noticed a few things for next summer (days of week are at the end of each row):

LY to YYZ will operate 762 x 5, and with new flight numbers. (Side note: LY has finally streamlined all long-distance flight numbers to below 100, and grouped more-or-less by region [1-12 JFK and LAX -- I think LAX should be changed to 15-16 to separate them from JFK, 26-28 EWR, 29-32 YYZ, 41-44 GRU, 51-54 JNB, 71-74 BOM, 75-76 HKG, 81-84 BKK, 95-98 PEK]. MIA could be somewhere around 19-20 when it returns. Now to rearrange the European flight numbers!)

LY 29 762 12.30 TLV 0050 0620 YYZ 7123
LY 30 762 11.05 YYZ 1300 0705+ TLV 7123

Many thanks. I have copied your message to the main message where I gave you the credit for writing it. Everything you wrote is correct, except the LH 5 weekly to MUC started this April and JK is up to 3 weekly, not 4 weekly.

For the week of August 7, 2011 (according to OAG):

JK 221 320 4.40 TLV 0310 0650 BCN 7
JK 221 321 4.40 TLV 0600 0940 BCN 2
JK 221 320 4.40 TLV 0035 0415 BCN 4
JK 221 320 4.40 TLV 0120 0500 BCN 5

Thanks. It's good to see JK expanding in TLV, especially due to the fact that VY don't fly to BCN anymore. I also updated your message with more details, see the main post.

Does this mean TLV could become a mini-hub, allowing *S pax coming from Europe connecting in TLV to ICN with KE?

HONcircle

Suggesting that people could buy a CDG to ICN with KE, and connecting in TLV.

joshwex90

What did you mean by *S, and how could pax connect? Doesn't KE fly direct between CDG and ICN? (And also NOT fly CDG-TLV?!)

HONcircle

*S = SkyTeam

Yes, KE does fly direct CDG-ICN.
One the same way that one could fly CDG-TLV via MXP for various reasons, the same might happen on the route TLV-ICN.

joshwex90

Isn't Sky Team usually ST... and *S usually Star Silver (elite level)

Who flies (as in which airline) CDG-MXP-TLV and why?

Houminer

Who would transfer in TLV and why?
If you are not an Israeli I would think TLV is one nighmare of a transfer.

yosithezet

I was thinking the same, but then I don't do Sky Team often so I figure I'm just no in the know.

Lots of people will forgo a non-stop flight for a connection if the price is right. I have a friend that flew TLV-BRU-BCN instead of TLV-BCN as it was much cheaper for her. But Europe-TLV-ICN would really require the Sky Team carriers to put together a good package for this route as I imagine currently all flights are considering TLV as an end-point and not a transfer point. I doubt we'll see any interesting fares for a route like this.
