Flew AI a few times in the past. Last month I had the chance to try their 787 (on a domestic flight), the flagship of their fleet basically, and couldn't believe it was a Dreamliner. The economy seats looked like they were from the 90's. The flight was practically empty though.

(compare with the standard reports that AI's pilots refused to go on board)

I don't fly this route but doesn't the 777 BA usually uses have an F cabin so this would be a downgrade for some?

Used to be the 4-class 777 with F but this changed a few months ago to the 3-class 777 with no F. It's still a reduction in the number of premium seats available.

EasyJet looking to operate TLV-AMS starting W15.
If this happens, it would be their 10th destination out of TLV!

If they open a base here that will subject them to Israeli consumer protection law. I wonder if that would be a consideration in not doing so.

Looks like we might start seeing Philippines Airlines soon in TLV. Unclear if TLV would be the intermediate stop on the way to Istanbul or the stop after Istanbul for them.

And now it's official!
Staring 26 October operating Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Timings are pretty lousy to be honest (for anyone looking to travel for business) departing TLV at 14:05 returning from AMS at 07:15.
Route open for bookings starting today.
