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 :

Conclusion
A very good flight with El Al A very good point for the divertissements (excellent honnestly for a 2h long flight). However, the catering wasn't so good for this time. OTP is a very comfortable airport. TLV is still very fluent. However, the luggage delivery was very long for once
