pretty dumb to use a 787 in place of a 747 JFK-TLV when you can fill the 747 and yet have other junky planes running your more size-matched aircraft. That's El Al for you.

Except they've got to contend with UA & DL on the route who's products in all classes far outpace LY's on the 747......

No wifi on the LY 787's.
Remember: Israeli technology is for export use only.

That’s going to change (soon).

I'm not sure 10-across in Y for United on the 77W is competitive with LY. In any event, selfishly, LY's clapped out 767's are no match for AC on YYZ in J. At least the 747s have pseudo lie flat.. (har har).

10 abreast in 777 is like 9 abreast in 787, both around 7.5 inches wide.
Wonder if LY will go 10 across in the 777 refurbishment . They did say same interior as 787, which means 17.5 wide seats

LY777 Jul 11, 2018 1:14 pm

It will still be better than the current antiquated interior the 772s have (especially ECA/B/C/D)

Food?
 
I'm most interested in details as to what type of food each class has. Does premium economy have a menu?

For long-haul flights there is a special menu for PE, for short haul - economy food.

Is there a way to know which 787 has working wifi?
I flew on the retro a few weeks ago and they said it hadn't been installed yet

Does anyone know if in LAX, Business class passengers exit the plane through L1 or L2?

At all the other airports they typically only open L2, but they fly the 777 to LAX they open both L1 and L2.

Thanks

I'll be flying LAX-TLV in March if you can wait till then. But I am unsure. I presume they will continue using both doors unless the price for the B789 is more than the B772.
