El Al back to ETH!
Last night, El Al flew non stopf rom CDG to ETH! It was LY 757, flight LY0224. This is great. Does someone know if LY plans more flights to ETH, instead of VDA?

Flights to ETH are only possible when they arrive after 10 PM - when the domestic travel is over for the day. They have to clear the terminal and turn it into an international one with immigration and customs. I can't even imagine a full 757 with over 200 passengers roaming the 2 lousy immigration booths at ETH. I guess this is why they don't publish these flights, the terminal is not capable of handling commercial flights and it is not your dream vacation to arrive around midnight, spend a couple of hours in line for immigration and get to your hotel by 2-3 AM...
