Code:
Current	B767	B777	Weekly	A321	Weekly	Gain/loss Percentage
F	0	14	98	0	0	-98	-100%
J	24	48	504	23	460	-44	-9%
W	24	40	448	0	0	-448	-100%
Y	144	127	1897	131	2620	723	38%
Total	192	229	2947	154	3080	133	5%
F/J/W	48	102	1050	23	460	-590	-56%

I hope we will also see at some point a improved C catering on their outbound flight LX255 in the afternoon.

I wish Canada and Israel would re negotiate the bilateral already, it needs to become open skies.
YUL is seriously lacking.
3x p/week on a 767 or in the future a 787 could defiantly work.
Oh well. A man can dream.

Which A320/1's is BA going to be using to TLV?
If it's going to be the former BMI aircraft will they have a proper business class seat and not the BS european narrow body "business class"

And will Y class be decent? I'm a Star Alliance flier but I may book with BA for a winter trip.

Yes I realize this. I had posted in this forum first but figured the BA forum would avail me better results

Brussels airlines seem to have added a extra flight every Sunday morning operated by an A320.

This flight is currently shown untill the end of March.

SAS to increase flights

3 months after returning to the route, SAS are going to increase their twice weekly flights between TLV-CPH to 3 weekly as well as replace the A319 currently doing the route to an A321.

They will also adjust the schedule to better suit the Israeli business PAX, so flights will now go Sun,Tue, Thu and depart TLV at 15:20 instead of 19:00 allowing for better connections to the rest of Scandinavia.

In Hebrew:

Normally they are strictly point-to-point. I doubt they would change the business model specifically for TLV.
