Hello and welcome to my return flight from Teneriefe to Tel Aviv.
I'm flying with Smartwings (Travel Service), they started to operate charter flights from TLV TO MAD and TFS with B737MAX8 from terminal 3 in Ben Gurion international airport.
We are on the way to Reina Sofia airport, the only International flight.


Departures hall:


Check in desks:


And now to the security control:


After the security control you are entering right to the Duty free shop.

There is a great view of the runway and the parked airplanes:



Than we are going down to the departure gates.


There are some cafe's and some fast food restaurants.
There is a passport check after the duty free for all international flights, we are the only one there:




It's time to board the Max, by bus again.
Our plane for today registration is: OK-SWB.















Our flight is delayed after we board the aircraft because of Strong turbulence over Italy, the pilots tolled us they are changing the route and it will take a time.
Instead of taking off at 14:40, we taked off at 16:00.
Take off:











It's time to buy some food:


And for dessert, a great view of the engine:


The cabin:



There is a lot of space for those who seat in rows 1-4 of this aircraft:

The tight Max toilet:

And after 8:20 hours on the plane, it's time to land in TLV:














Deboard:


And the bus enterance of landing flights:






Those who bought in Duty free shop in TLV and saved them, they can take the packages here:

unfortunately I didn't get some pictures of the baggage claim so we need to finish the FR here.
Thanks for reading!
Wow, that might be a new record for longest flight from the Canaries! Don't think Aeroflot's SVO service pushes 8 hours. Not sure a SmartWings plane is where I'd like to spend that long having used them on considerably shorter intra-European routes, even with the larger legroom up front.
Thanks for the report and plentiful photos.
You are right about the longest flight from the canaries, I'm sure that if you will download some movies in the tablet and brink some food and drinks from home (or buy onboard), with this comfortable legroom that is fine!
Buying drinks from home would be difficult to get through security, but yeah... 6.50 for a flight to Tel Aviv with no ptv is rather painful.
I bought after the security check bottle of water for 1 Euro and 1 can of Nestea for 2.5 Euro.
