I don't mind the extra cost. I buy Flex anyway when flying couch and would still add the $6.

It reads like for $6.00 you can use the shorter secondary security ( liquid check line when flying to US) it also seems if loads of people spend that Huge ( sarcasm) amount of money, ElAl will only succeed in alienating those who now fly upper class or,who,have sufficient status to use it. I always want to stand in a long line to get to my business/ first seat has never been said. After all, I spent thousands on my seat and or have spent thousands with ElAl, so a few dozen people ahead of me who spent $6.00 per person - no big deal!

Does anyone really think that LY at TLV or at outstations will enforce priority boarding?
The try to do it sometimes but many time it doesn't work.

Small print at the bottom:
** When boarding the aircraft from a shuttle bus, priority boarding will be on the first shuttle bus.
