I think it's slowly getting time for a Star Alliance lounge at TLV
On another note, it looks like LH has reduced capacity on their FRA-TLV-FRA route; the day flight LH686/7 is not anymore operated by a B744 instead of A343 / A346

No reason *A shouldn't add a lounge, and even priority screening if possible (though truthfully, not so necessary)

It's a start, but they should have put them on Sunday/Friday instead of Saturday/Thursday. They also should have spaced them out a little further - a 9am and an 11:30 aren't all that helpful on scheduling, although they may be restricted by the fact that they always do out-back the same day and therefore probably don't do any overnight flights.

I was talking to one of the Easyjet flight attendants on my last flight with them and was told that they never overnight anywhere - only out and back same day so that they always sleep at home. I guess this is one way they cut costs. I suppose they could theoretically do an overnight followed by a return in the early morning, but not sure I'd want to be a passenger on the return with a sleepy flight crew.

Regardless, I don't get what the connection to SN is
