The day of the flight: I checked out and my plane took off from CDG:
I arrived at 5:20 PM to Terminal 1 (The old Terminal, now It serves the low cost carries that operates in TLV like EasyJet, Wizz, Ryanair, UP, some flights of Pegasus, Arkia, Israir and the flight of Alitalia to Athens). The terminal building from outside:
The flight will depart on time:
The check-in process was really fast and took less than 2 minutes because another flight of EasyJet to LTN canceled and there were many desks to use. Our flight info:
This is the duty-free area that has many shops, 1 cafe, and one snack bar. The area isn't big as terminal 3 but for is enough and better because it less crowded and I usually don't buy anything at TLV's duty-free:
The view of the waiting area:
You can see El Al's Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 777-200ER and Ryanair Boeing 737-800 on his way to FCO (Rome, Italy) behind them:

Inside the bus that will take us to the plane. There aren't airbridges in Terminal 1:
After short driving and waiting for about 10 minutes on the bus it was time to board this brand new A320 with sharklets. In my opinion the sharklets are more beautiful the old type of winglets of the A320. I like boarding from a bus!

Conclusion
I had a nice flight with EasyJet. Price -The price was a bit high as It was the highest season in Israel - The Jewish new year and "Sukhot" holiday. It was the same as Transavia and XL Airways but I read bad things about XL (many delays and old planes). Transavia is good but the hours of the flights weren't so good. I won't fly with El Al and there is nothing special about Air France (Cramped A320). I was happy that I chose to fly on EasyJet. Terminal 1 at TLV - Is comfort, fast, not so busy and nice. However, there is only one busy cafe which is dairy (As of kosher rules) and a snack shop with hot dogs. Next time I would like to see more options to eat at the Terminal. There were enough seats and power outlets but in the morning it's difficult to find a free seat (Busy hours are from 7AM-14PM with many W6 and U2 flights). Also, there isn't lounge at Terminal 1. The Plane - was fresh and new. Better than to be stuck on old B738 of LY/QS or A332/3 of XL Airways. The seat was ok but after 2 hours my back started to hurt. The seat can't recline but I don't have any problem with that. Entertainment - No entertainment on EasyJet's flight except the view from the window and their magazine. I recommend bringing something to read or use your Netflix account during the flight. Crew - The crew on this flight was really nice and helpful to all the passengers. B&OB on board - There are many products but they aren't cheap. The flight departed at 8:00 PM instead of 7:35 PM but landed 20 minutes earlier. The terminal at CDG - EasyJet's used Terminal 2D at CDG which is really nice and comfortable. The process was really fast and comfort maybe because only our flight landed and the late hour of landing (11:30 PM).
For a summary, It's my 3rd flight with EasyJet and I will definitely fly again with EasyJet!

Thanks for this FR. Well for the same price you could have flown on an XL A330 but the potential delay must be not worth it. Generally I prefer EZY over TO, mostly because their crew are more professional, on TO they are friendly but a bit too relaxed with French customers. Were the plane models of good quality? I thought of buying them but they look like toys in the picture in the dutyfree magazine.
