Note The flight was with Israir code as 6H5621 but with LY (EL AL) plane and crew as the flight was on Saturdays (El Al doesn't fly on Saturdays).
This flight report covers my trip to Crete Island, Greece.
The flights

Herkalion (HER) -> Tel Aviv (TLV) BZ753 Y B734
As the flight time of departure was 8:30AM, we'd arrived to the airport at 6:00AM. Check-in and security passed quickly. Here is the food area of TLV with an AF A320 plane in the background:
UP Boeing 737-800 before flight to Kos, Greece:
At 7:50AM I went to our gate, C9 and saw our ride for this short flight today: EL AL Boeing 777-200ER, 4X-ECF, Build on 2007! What a huge plane for a very short flight!
Before entering into the 777!
As I arrived to the plane, I planned to turn right to the Economy Section but the cabin crew said to me that I need to go to through the left side, into the First and Business Class!!! Yeahh
El Al First Class seat, only 6 seats (1 row):
El Al Business Class:
El Al Economy Plus + Economy Class seats:
Wing view:
Durning Pushback. There aren't photos of view because I was sitting in the alise.
After Take-off view:
Service on this flight: Every passenger got a bottle of water and a small snack. You could rent heaphones for the IFE for 2$. I didn't rent those as of this short flight.

Bye Bye 4X-ECF!
Thanks for this report,
Many tourists should come to Greece, otherwise i would be more astonished to know they use a B777-200ER for those flights.
Was it cheap tickets?
How nice to get a 777 on a short flight, and even better than you got a Business class seat! Are LY's Economy+ seats like the U.S. concept with normal seats and just extra legroom? Thanks for sharing!
They charge you money for headsets even in business? Yikes
