Are you talking about HBO security questioning? indeed I went back to use the normal one due to the long queue, and then moved on to use the fast-track for the screening, there was no queue at all for that.

No, the line there was okay (but I didn't travel HBO today). I was there at around 4:40 and the queue for the fast track x-ray machines and metal detectors was long as the exile

Any recent experience using mobile BP at TLV, LY or otherwise?
Separately, does anyone know if I check-in through the LY "app" if I can get the mobile BP and get an emailed PDF to print? I want that as a back-up in case of an issue, without showing it if mobile works properly. (Prefer that over using the kiosks there for a variety of reasons.)

If this doesn't work ,go to the website, under manage my booking there is an option to "print a boarding pass" when you do this it also sends a PDF BP to your mail.

Good to know, thanks! That being said, do you know if mobile BP with LY actually works (either at TLV or abroad)?

Finally I was issued today a mobile BP by BA.com and I was able to use it all across the airport. That said, the agent at the lounge still needed to copy my details from the BP on a piece of paper

I had some fun last time I flew out of TLV, I bypassed security (as I was travelling HBO) and went directly to the counter to enquire about an upgrade, so I ended up with a counter printed BP, which they didn't want to admit me into the HBO questioning queue with and asked if I also have one on my phone instead

I have used UA and LH mobile boarding passes in TLV frequently and most recently last week, worked without a problem. If you have bags the system/agent will print paper ones anyway, but you can keep them as souvenirs and use the mobile if you prefer.
