Actually the 767's are supposed to have the Streaming Media app over wifi: http://www.elal.com/en/PassengersInf...Streaming.aspx

If you fly Y I agree this could be a good option for flying TLV-BOS-TLV but C is really sub-par on the 767. I mean it's not good on the 777 or 744 but on the 767... If LY get rid of those aircraft and replaces them with 787 that will become a different story, hopefully upgrading C at the same time.

Also says there will be WiFi and "other services" - interested on both counts.
What is מחלקת ביניים? Would that be something like Premium Economy?

Unless this includes an overhaul of all the 763's,(why would they designate a BOS 767) it doesn't make any sense. Then again, its not just an airline, its Israel.

Perhaps they will have deals as they introduce the new route, but it all depends on whether they can fill a 767 up with BOS-TLV passengers at the start.

Paying that kind of a premium for a nonstop isn't too unreasonable. At least compared to prior experience trying to book LY to LAX and having it be $7000 vs. $3500 on BA.

I can't get any to come up yet for July or August searching for the BOS-TLV-BOS direction. Hopefully I'll see them soon.
Provided the difference isn't completely out of line, I'm certainly willing to pay a bit more for nonstop.
