introduction
After 10 days in the Czech republic, I headed to the airport for my return flight to TLV airport.
Like the inbound flight to PRG, this was also Elal flight that operated by Tus.

I arrived to the airport 3 hours before the flight, as Elal requested.
I entered to the terminal:
And I went to the check in area:
Shortly after, I received my boarding pass:
After hand baggage check and passport control (which went pretty fast), I arrived to the duty free shop:
Our flight appeared on the right screen:
Time to my toilets review… :)
As you can see, the toilets were in pretty good condition and clean.
Back to the terminal:
There are couple of shops in PRG airport:
As well as some place to eat:
As I did in my previous flight from PRG to TLV, I went to the food court:
It required a short walking, but the prices there were very cheap.
I was happy to find that since my last visit in PRG airport (in 2019) the prices were still reasonable.
I ordered Pasta with chicken dish, which costs approximately 7 Euro.
Pretty good value!
I headed back to the terminal:
Outside view:
And then I went to the gate area. We had more security check there.
Our aircraft just arrived from TLV:
Shortly after, boarding started by groups:
It was a bit of a mess, since people didn't listen carefully.
On the jet bridge:
Our aircraft:
FLIGHT experience - PRG TO TLV
Aircraft information:
Airbus A320-200
Delivered to Air Malta on October 2004 (9H-AEK), delivered to Tus on April 2021 (5B-DDK)
Making it almost 19 years old when I flew on it
When I boarded the aircraft, the cockpit was open, so I took those photos:
Then I headed to my seat (2A). The legroom was pretty bad:
As mentioned in the past, I'm not tall at all and it wasn't comfortable at all.
The old PSU:
The aircraft pushed back and we started the taxing procedure.
Smartwings B737s:
Eurowings A319/A320 and some Air France Airbus:
Lufthansa A319:

Shortly after take off, sandwich for dinner was served:
Like the inbound flight to PRG, this sandwich was tasty but small.
This time the sandwich wasn't dairy. It was a Sandwich with brisket.
Soft drinks also provided:
I went to the rear toilets, you can definitely see that this aircraft isn't new:
Cabin view during flight:
More wear and tear in the cabin:
The rest of the flight was uneventful and there is nothing to tell about.
Shortly before landing, over Tel Aviv:
Landing video:
We made our way to the parking.
Israir Airbus A320 (4X-ABT) parked near our aircraft:
Cabin view during deboarding:
Goodbye 5B-DDK!
A bus took us to terminal 3.

On my way to the baggage claim area:
The baggage claim area:
The baggage arrived pretty quickly and I made our way to my home.
Thanks for reading!
The cabin is simple compared to LY's own aircraft, but adequate for a regional flight, and at least the on-board service was friendly and there was complementary food. The cabin looks almost identical to the cabins on JetTime 738s (flying for SAS) I had a few months ago. Thanks for sharing!
For a short regional flight it may be ok, but for 4 hours flight it was cramped.
When comparing it to the retrofitted B738 it's a real downgrade.
