Hi all,
How is El Al doing from Boston to Tel Aviv? How it going? Is that strong performance?

Even once it starts up, the data which answers the question will be a trade secret. The planes may be full or relatively empty, but what matters is what people are paying, e.g., PRASM.
New routes also have their ups and downs. There are people used to flying/traveling to NYC, who will fly non-stop from Boston and people inbetween who would have headed to NYC who will now trek into Boston. Changing consumer buying habits takes time.

Its not all that difficult with EL AL, as it is possible to view the seatmap from, for example, ExpertFlyer, and get a good idea as to how full the flights are. EL AL allows all passengers to have advance seat selection so this gives quite a good indication, as opposed to, for example, BA, where most passengers do not reserve seats in advance.
