    In 1973 I was getting on a plane at Lod airport. The security guy looked at my passport and says "I see you visit mostly Eastern European countries. Why is that?" I said I'm studying Slavic languages, particularly Russian literature." The guy, who was my age, switches to Russian and as he's going thru my baggage says "Why don't you tell me a little about the character development of Parfen Rogozhin in Dostoevky's The Idiot." Surprised, I started doing my usual "I'm not prepared for this" analysis of the character development. He finished my luggage and says "OK, you can get on the plane but I suggest you read your Dostoevsky a little more carefully."

      A bit strange is the red Wine with all Meals.
      I'm not someone who know Wine,but as I know its the Rule Dark to Red and Bright to White.
      So the Soufflaki and the Steak with red Wine and the two Fish with white Wine.
      Also serving another Glass Wine when theres still one, ismaybe a bit much, but maybe they are different ones, like a dry and a sweet Wine.

    A friend of mine worked airport security in the 1980s at Manchester Airport. He told me there were only two airlines that tallied baggage checked in with the actual passenger boarding list. That is, ensuring no-one could check in a bag, presumably with a bomb inside, and then not board the flight. Those two airlines were American and El Al. Even back in the 1980s, security was paramount for El Al.

    I said I had flown in from Atlanta the day before, and spent the night in Boston.
    "Where in Boston did you stay?" they inquired.
    "An apartment very near here," I replied (it had been an Airbnb, although I failed to mention that.)
    "And whose apartment was it?"
    "Um. . .Tom's!" I answered, relieved that I was able to recall the Host's name, given how nervous I was by then.
    "And what was 'Tom's' *last* name?" they asked.
    "I don't know," I admitted, "but. . . I can look it up?!"
    "You spent the night at his apartment, yet you don't know *his last name* ??!!"

    About 20 years ago, my mother flew El Al from London to Israel. She was a wine buyer at the time. She remembers that El Al had no trouble with her carrying her corkscrew onto the plane. When she flew from the states to London, TSA had confiscated it from her and sent it through baggage. She asked El Al's security person why it was allowed. She says they told her their security check showed her to be a wine buyer and that she had held that job since retiring from being a school teacher 12 years earlier. They did not think that a wine buyer carrying a corkscrew was anything that threatened security. So El Al might have the toughest security, but they are, also, realists.

    Years ago when I was in the military a couple of us went to Norway to give instruction for the winter Olympics armed with a couple of large camera box's with inert items, the Capt came off to view them as the EL AL flight and their own security machines were next to us....as the box went through the couple watching the screen immediately stopped having seen something suspious tell you not one of the 6 security missed that item and it was small, would fly with them anytime

      I flew Newark too Tel Aviv economy with El Al, I ithink I was the only non Jew on the plane indeed all the others seemed too be ultra orthodox. I had at least a half hour chat with a very nice security lady before I boarded, I guess they didn't have much work that day apart froom talking to me. Luckily they let me on.
      Another tme I flew out I was sitting on an aisle seat with a nice young lady at the window seat. An ultra orthoodox man was placed between us. Ultra orthodox cannot sit next women who are not family, so he immediately got an upgade to business class. I would have swapped seats with him if he had asked. But I guess we all benefitted from the arrangement more leg space for all of us. Though I did think it was somewhat ungentlemanly of him not to ask for the flight upgrade to the young lady instead of himself.

I might visit with my wife and kids to Israel and would love to see hospitality of our Israelis friends in coming days so that I can tell my friends and my countrymen that it's high time... let's sit together and enjoy this life...

    Great report! I was thoroughly interrogated by Israeli security upon departure from Ben Gurion and I was extremely pleased by it. I felt completely safe and secure. The interviewer asked me if I understood why they’re asking all of the questions they did and I said I did. By the way, I overheard the next traveler being interviewed and the questions were not the same as I was asked so it’s a true interrogation, not just someone reading the same questions over and over. I was very impressed.

I just remembered that he told me that he did have a bad case of the Aztec two step not long after arriving in Israel and the kindness of the tour guides was another lesson that tour guides of different countries should take note of and act on, from checking up him while he was ill to making sure he kept hydrated and to keep at him fed even when food was the last thing on his mind

The need for this arose about 20 years ago, when a jetliner of another Israeli carrier (Arkia) was targeted by two SA7 Strela missiles while taking off from Mombasa, Kenya by Al Qaeda terrorists. Luckily the missiles missed their target, but since then the lesson was learned and the planes were armed with this system.

At that time, the flight attendants were all male and we're military veterans. The only thing that I didn't like was the food. We were delayed on the tarmac at JFK for over 3 hours because something happening in Canada and they could not serve us anything except water until we were in the air. It does look like the food has improved. That was a different time (only 18 months after the Yom kippur war) but would I fly EL AL airline again? YES definitely!

    I flew London to Tel Aviv with El Al way back in 1977 (Boeing 720). The security was pretty strict but my then Australian partner was Jewish and he chatted away in Hebrew to the check-in staff. Apparently he vouched for me and there were no problems. Leaving Tel Aviv with Air France (Boeing 747-100) to Bangkok via Teheran (it was in the days of the Shah and friendly relations with Israel) I was taken aside and asked a lot of questions about what I had been doing in Israel. My hand baggage was searched plus a body pat-down. This was before the days of scanning machines etc. I never knew the reason for the scrutiny but the security guy was friendly and it was fairly quick. Strange, considering I was flying Air France and leaving the country, but it is what it is.

Instead of his designated seat, he was then seated elsewhere next to a supposed air marshall with no other passengers around. He didnt mind though, security has to be top notch for an israeli airline.
    There actually was a El Al hijacking in 1968, before air marshalls. Since then, attacks only took place on the ground, often resulting in wounded, prisoned and dead attackers.

    Josh, I am so very grateful to you for indirectly teaching me to respect the culture, standards, behavior and even tolerate misbehaviors at times. I am 100% sure you have fantastic parents/family. It would be an honor to have one like you in the friends circle.
    I was associated with aviation industry and had the honor of initiating new station for Ethiopian Airlines in Kisangani, Congo.

    In 2004 I flew El Al from LA to Toronto since it was the cheapest flight. I lined up to check in and Israeli in suit approached me and asked me where I was heading to and checked my passport. Here is where it got crazy. El Al had own x-ray machine next to counter for check-in luggage. After running it twice, I was escorted to a room behind where I was personally searched and awaited until boarding announced. I am a Korean, and all non-Israeli passengers were treated the same way. I was accompanied by old Chinese couple and a black gentleman. When boarding was announced a lady came by, and we all followed her to the gate, where we met Israeli passengers. Then, we got on a bus, escorted by 4 LAPD petrol cars in a 2-2 square formation and boarded the plane that was parked some distances away. The airplane was guarded by a few guys in orange vests with Hebrew written on back. Boarded it and as we walked pass other passengers, they gave us unwelcoming glances. Once we took off, all went crazy. People were walking around and talking aloud. It was one of the weirdest and craziest experiences I will never forget until today. But gotta to tell you, it was the safest flight.

    In 1986 a friend of mine was on an ELAL flight from from London to Tel Aviv. Two ELAL security officers stopped a pregnant lady who was carrying a bomb in her bag. She had unwittingly been given the device by her boyfriend. The extra security saved many lives that day. Great report. Lovely service from the lady steward who was a “Dish” herself!! Great report, thanks.

    I just traveled to Israel with ELAL airlines. My elderly parents myself and my wife and 11 year old daughter are Armenian US citizens and Christian’s who wanted to visit Israel to see the holy sites and where Jesus walked. We always took the side of Israel in the ArabIsraeli conflict and have many Jewish friends however this changed. We were given extra scrutiny on the checkin counter in the US because my parents (in their 70s) and I had US passports which said we were born in iran. Upon arrival to Ben gurion airport in TLV we were separated and interrogated with rude questions for 2 hours even though we explained we were refugees from Iran and US citizens. In our return flight the flight attendants were very young and would oftentimes(5 times)bump into my shoulder on my economy isle seat without apology and would speak Hebrew to me even though I spoke English and don’t know Hebrew. One time the flight attendant leaned into my face 1 ft away speaking Hebrew while adjusting my seat up with her other hand. They also served egg both to and from TLV which was totally disgusting and inedible. My experiences in Israel were Also disappointing as Arab Muslims were dishonest but nice but most Jewish people were rude and greedy. The only good interactions we had there were with Arab Christians who were both honest and nice. I was saddened to realize that my affinity and love for the Jewish people (especially the Orthodox Jews) were misplaced as so many of them were so rude and greedy. Needless to say I will never travel to Israel again.
