For this summer, I am going to Israël
However, due to my contests, I looked to late to the differents possibilites to have a direct flight from Paris (min 550 euros)
I wanted to try the new El Al dreamliner but the go and return was at 675 euros
Instead, with a stop at BUH with AF and LY, I found my go and turn for less than 400 euros
The road will be:
Sunday, August 12th : Paris (CDG)-Bucarest(OTP) with Air France (AF 1888) in Airbus A319
Sunday, August 12th : Bucarest(OTP)-Tel Aviv(TLV) with El Al (LY 572) in Boeing B737-900
Tuesday, August 21st : Tel Aviv(TLV)-Bucarest(OTP) with El Al (LY 573) in Boeing B737-800
Tuesday, August 21st : Bucarest(OTP)- Paris(CDG) with Air France (RO 9381) in Airbus A319
Sorry for the quality of some of my pictures
I made my online check-in 24h before the departure time
Very easy to do thanks to the new El Al app

I went back to Henri Coanda Airport after an afternoon spent in the center of Bucharest
I took a taxi (20 min, 8euros)
The Airport FIDS:

After the different checks, I start to spot :
A321 W6 :

B737 Blue Air :

A320 Qatar airways :

A330 TK :

A318 RO :

Dash Q8-400 Austrian :

Boarding is made on time
We enter in the plane by the business cabin :

Then, we enter in the economy class
My seat :

Very good pitch for a 2h long flight:

Some advertissements for the new Wi-fi service of El Al (free to use some apps), the atmosphere magazine and the El Al fleet with the new Dreamliner



Un casque est mis à disposition (bel effort pour un si court vol) :

Mood-lightening is turned on :

Since the arrival of the dreamliner, El Al has a new safety video presented by Lior Suchard (a mentalist). I advise every fan of safety video to watch it.

Whe we left, we met a B737-700 RO in skyteam livery :

After the take-off, the central IFE is activated :

The meal is served.
Whether a chciken or tuna sandwich were available.
A bottle of water for everyone

After the dinner, I used the app "dreamstream"
Very useful, we can have the live map and it has a good choice of movies


We start our approach exactely when the movie ends

The mood-lightening is re-turned on :

We pass the Ben-Gurion airport :

Very smooth landing.
B747-400 El Al and B737 UIA :



B737 Ethiopian :

Very fast deboarding
Last seen on our plane :

The passport check will be very fluent despite the number of planes that had landed at approximately the same time :

We waited for an hour for the luggage
Hope you enjoyed this report
See you soon

Nice trip report. Does El Al offer alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for free in Y?
Thanks for the comment
Usually they do but not this time.
