Day of the flight: Our plane made his way from Warsaw: I took a train from Tel Aviv to Ben Gurion Airport. The trip lasted for about 20 minutes and cost 13 NIS (around 4$). I was at the airport at 6:20PM for 8:50PM depart, I took a trolley so I hadn't needed to wait at the check-in counter. The security check was really fast and I finished everything after 10 minutes. I did a short tour in concourse E area which opened 2 weeks ago, also it includes double jet-bridges as the first time at TLV airport.

The crew arranged the plane less than 30 min! In the jetbridge: First view: The new cabin smells and looking good for 4 hours flight: Row: Tray table: Pitch is good (I'm 5"10/178 cm): Nice view on this Korean Air's amazing Boeing 777-300ER:

Conclusion
I enjoyed this flight with LOT. The service was nice and friendly, The flight landed on time although the delay. The seats are comfortable and you get free drink and a snack. The flight was really cheap (TLV-WRO for 64$). As a Star Alliance member, I earned miles for this flight. I will fly LOT again!
6 LIKESLIKE TO THANK THE AUTHORTHANKS ! FLIGHT-REPORT LIKED
Thanks for a very nice report with great spotting in TLV. Pity LOT has such a poor service, it's high time they offered something more than this. The cabin looks ok, how were the seats? Hope you had a nice time in Poland!
Hi and thanks for reading! The seats were really comfortable with a good recline. Service was poor for 4 hours as I chose the cheapest option. I ate at the airport so I wasn't hungry onboard.
Thanks for this FR. Given the flight duration, the catering coud be better than the usual one they serve on European flights. But at 64$ you can't really expect too much. Beautiful pictures before landing with the snow covered landscapes.
Hey and thanks for reading my report! In my opnion 64$ for 4 hours flight is really cheap . I got drinks, pillow and blanket. It's great! Some airlines don't serve meals for free on their flights from/to TLV like UIA, LOT, Blue Air The views were nice but most of the flight were above clouds....
Hi Yonatan, thanks for a nice report as usual! The new-ish cabin looks quite nice and fresh. I'm surprised there wasn't more substantial service for a 4 hour flight, but you definitely can't beat that $64 price! It's always nice, and so rare, to have a half empty cabin like that.
Hi Kevin, I can't complain for 64$ flight. For example Ryanair is cheaper on this route, tickets can cost 20$!!! The flight was half empty and some people slept on the benches as it was a evening flight. The cabin is pretty comfortable and better than LH/OS narrowbody's jets.
Hi Kevin, The flight ticket is really cheap but it could be half if I'd chose to fly with Ryanair. Seats were comfortable, more than OS/LH A320's and every passenger got blanket and pillow. You could see pax that were slept on 3 seats each.
