Many thanks dat4life for a well crafted trip report. Your photos were incredibly clear while the accompanying narrative was engaging and honest highlighting the positives while at the same time identifying the areas for improvement e.g BA's second meal service on the flight from LHR to JFK and security at LHR. I really like the new BA CS and having just flown the new Air France business suite to/from Johannesburg, while the food I think is better on AF, BA is in front with their selection of drinks and the bedding on BA is much better than AF given that BA provide a mattress topper, quilt and big pillow as opposed to AF's only blanket and pillow.

Every encouragement for your continuing efforts in informing us with such detailed and excellent TRs. SFO777 has indeed an heir apparent!

dat4life: many thanks for sharing your narrative & pictures.
After visiting some sights in Egypt earlier this year, I am eager to see more of the Middle-East.
Could you please share the name of your tour group of Jerusalem & Bethlehem?

You're overthinking it. It's for security -- so men are frisking men and women are frisking men. In the States, TSA frisking is done always done by a TSA officer of the same gender as the pax. More efficient to have a men's line and a women's line, rather than men and women in the same line and have to have male and female officers running around switching back and forth between lanes.

This is a practical / efficiency thing, and isn't a sexism thing.

Enjoyed this trip report and your adventures. Been to Israel and London many times but always like to hear and see it through a first time visitors eyes. And totally understand the return connections and wondering if your gf would be OK with it..the things we do for travel first..and then love
