Home Check In
El Al are about to introduce a new service called "Home Check In" that will allow people to check bags from their homes 24 hours before the flight. The service will be offered by a private company for LY and will cost 49 USD per up to 4 pax in one address.
The company that does the service is run by a couple of Israeli celebrities - former Basketball player Nadav Henefeld (with history in Jim Calhoun UConn Huskies) and former Shin-Bet (Israel secret service) chief Shabtay Shavit.
