Conclusion
The flight was short and good, but not excellent. The cabin should be cleaner, the table of my father was dirty. The flight took off with delay of 20 minutes. The crew wasn't nice and talked to some people without respect. The Dream steam system is nice idea, but the system work slowly and I couldn't check the system deeply in short flight like this. The catering was OK but not more than OK.
About TLV airport: In this time, the cleanliness improved, so I gave better score. There are many shops and places to eat, so I gave 10 in services. The terminal isn't big and I know quickly where I need to go, so I gave 10 in Access.
About OTP airport: The baggage claim was little slow, the access to the rental car area isn't clear, maybe they need to add some signs to the airport that it'll be more clear where people need to go to take their car... They got maximum score in services because the airport is including many shops.
1 LIKESLIKE TO THANK THE AUTHORTHANKS ! FLIGHT-REPORT LIKED
I like the design of the seats on this new aircraft. The catering is pretty good too. But given LY is far from being cheap, it's normal they provide a superior Y class product.
Yes, the price for this flight was 350$ USD, but this price was the lowest price for the dates when I travelled to Romania. Tarom price was more than 500 Euro, Israir price was 400$ USD w/o baggage and meal.
