First Class

I did TLV-JFK with the 777. and back withe 772

The 772 is downgrade in F
12 Pax ,only one toalite, no room to move.
No room between the seats and between the wall.
The seat is narrower the the original 777/744 seat.

The launge in JFK is very small at the F section.
small tables and small seats.
It looks like a cheap airline launge.

I agree totally with your comments about the 772, and have told EL AL (at a high level) many times. Maybe, one day, they will learn. They seem to think that the rules which apply to all other airlines don't apply to them. A bit like some people here in Israel used to say about the economy: that all the usual rules of economics didn't apply here because it was 'different'. Eventually they learned their lesson. It will sink into EL AL as well ... eventually.

As far as the lounge is concerned, I really like the small, quiet lounge when flying First.

I liked it when we where 6-8 people in F.
Now it was 12 pax in the small room with the small tables with very
little space. and we all needed to share the small tables...
Few of the PAX brought in their friends.

You can not change cahnells on the TV...
