After 10 days in the Czech republic, I headed to the airport for my return flight to TLV airport. Like the inbound flight to PRG, this was also Elal flight that operated by Tus.
I arrived to the airport 3 hours before the flight, as Elal requested.
I entered to the terminal:
And I went to the check in area:
Shortly after, I received my boarding pass:
After hand baggage check and passport control (which went pretty fast), I arrived to the duty free shop:
Our flight appeared on the right screen:
Time to my toilets review… :)
As you can see, the toilets were in pretty good condition and clean. Back to the terminal:
There are couple of shops in PRG airport:
As well as some place to eat:
As I did in my previous flight from PRG to TLV, I went to the food court:
It required a short walking, but the prices there were very cheap. I was happy to find that since my last visit in PRG airport (in 2019) the prices were still reasonable.
I ordered Pasta with chicken dish, which costs approximately 7 Euro. Pretty good value!
I headed back to the terminal:
Outside view:
And then I went to the gate area. We had more security check there.
Our aircraft just arrived from TLV:
Shortly after, boarding started by groups:
It was a bit of a mess, since people didn't listen carefully.
On the jet bridge:
Our aircraft:
FLIGHT experience - PRG TO TLV
Aircraft information: Airbus A320-200 Delivered to Air Malta on October 2004 (9H-AEK), delivered to Tus on April 2021 (5B-DDK) Making it almost 19 years old when I flew on it
When I boarded the aircraft, the cockpit was open, so I took those photos:
Then I headed to my seat (2A). The legroom was pretty bad:
As mentioned in the past, I'm not tall at all and it wasn't comfortable at all.
The old PSU:
The aircraft pushed back and we started the taxing procedure.

Shortly after take off, sandwich for dinner was served:
Like the inbound flight to PRG, this sandwich was tasty but small. This time the sandwich wasn't dairy. It was a Sandwich with brisket.
Soft drinks also provided:
I went to the rear toilets, you can definitely see that this aircraft isn't new:
Cabin view during flight:
More wear and tear in the cabin:
The rest of the flight was uneventful and there is nothing to tell about.
Shortly before landing, over Tel Aviv:

We made our way to the parking.

Goodbye 5B-DDK!
A bus took us to terminal 3.

Conclusion
My first flight with Tus was on the inbound flight to PRG, so I knew that the return flight won't be comfortable. The cabin was in good condition (considering the age of the aircraft), the toilets were clean but definitely showing it's age, the seats were in very good condition. The service on board was good as well, the flight attendants were nice. There are no overhead TVs, wifi, power outlets, etc. The legroom wasn't good, but at least I could recline the seat.
PRG was clean, and like the inbound flight to PRG, the services in the airport were good and fast.
TLV airport - Nothing special to tell about, everything went flawlessly so I can't complain. Very good as usual.
5 LIKESLIKE TO THANK THE AUTHORTHANKS ! FLIGHT-REPORT LIKED
The cabin is simple compared to LY's own aircraft, but adequate for a regional flight, and at least the on-board service was friendly and there was complementary food. The cabin looks almost identical to the cabins on JetTime 738s (flying for SAS) I had a few months ago. Thanks for sharing!

When comparing it to the retrofitted B738 it's a real downgrade.
