You made it! 😅
@@Gibbs-rq4yg no. They obviously knew who he was and he had a KZhead channel. The security personal had screened him beforehand and told all the staff about it, and they made a nice PR move out of it to advertise their product.
Thank you so very much for traveling with us. Was a privilege to host you. Toda raba ❤️✈️❤️
@@yitzhakkolb8520 isn’t it scary to work for an airliner who has to secure their fleet all over the world and all it’s personnel because of isreal their evil acts?
In 1973 I was getting on a plane at Lod airport. The security guy looked at my passport and says "I see you visit mostly Eastern European countries. Why is that?" I said I'm studying Slavic languages, particularly Russian literature." The guy, who was my age, switches to Russian and as he's going thru my baggage says "Why don't you tell me a little about the character development of Parfen Rogozhin in Dostoevky's The Idiot." Surprised, I started doing my usual "I'm not prepared for this" analysis of the character development. He finished my luggage and says "OK, you can get on the plane but I suggest you read your Dostoevsky a little more carefully."
😂 that's fabulous! A little frightening, but fabulous!
Lol you got roasted by airport security
Wow you're one old man with great tales to tell!
can't they ever mind their own business?!
Brilliant story!
El Al does a background check on every passenger before the flight, especially on a route like Dubai-TLV, so they knew you were an avgeek with a youtube page and the crew was briefed before the flight to take extra care of you during this flight, and not even question you even though u went to Iran and Irak.
Can my muslim friend also fly with el al without a problem?
@@Skull211 there's Abrir from Pakistan, a very experienced youtuber, who visited Israel without any problems, some delays though.
@@Skull211 Yes
I think too, it looks like he had an VIP Treatment there. Most Passengers get one Meal with one Drink, this was 4 Meals with 3 Drinks if I counted right. A bit strange is the red Wine with all Meals. I'm not someone who know Wine,but as I know its the Rule Dark to Red and Bright to White. So the Soufflaki and the Steak with red Wine and the two Fish with white Wine. Also serving another Glass Wine when theres still one, ismaybe a bit much, but maybe they are different ones, like a dry and a sweet Wine.
It's a shame that this is the norm for Jews. If they resolved their problems with the Palestinians then it would immediately open up a different world for them. Not one that is constantly security obsessed.
Enjoyed this video! I wish airlines in the USA could go back to this beautiful level of service. It’s inspiring to see flight attendants friendly, engaged and Smiling! Used to be that way here before 2002. 🙏
That's because youre not Arab. El al is the most racist airline. They're absolutely horrendous.
@@poorwotanthe American version of Emirates.
Back in the mid 80’s I flew from Heathrow to Tel Aviv on El Al ... the security was unbelievable ( not a bad thing ) but , shall I say “ unsettling “ 👍
One of the best flight attendants I’ve seen! Clearly loves her job and has a passion to make her passengers onboard leave with a great experience
She was on stage and putting on her best show for the camera!!! THEY KNEW he was reviewing and would post it!
Yeah one of the best flight attendants towards Josh and Josh only ! Didn't see her treating the family next to him or next to them the same way she treated Josh ! Besides she was being a try hard
So obviously they called you to review the flight most passengers travel in economy so you just having fun getting views
She wanted josh c**& that's all folks lol 😆
One thing I would add - she kept on touching her hair and then serving food and drink
That flight attendant had no ring on her left hand and I promise you she wasn't being nice to Josh on accident LOL 🥰
Had the same thought.
She was having a sale like Costco.
@@gregoryhuntington7954 bruh
She knows he’s filming everything
or maybe she saw the camera
Due to "extraordinary" nature of El Al, everybody called it as "007 Airline". The only ones that flew with EW-suite and Praetorian security.
As a frequent flyer to and from Israel, I find El Al to offer the best staff service. Though the amenities may not be as nice as some of the others, I always feel at peace during the flight. There is something very nice about the flight when all the passengers are happy with the service, the feelings are somewhat contagious. I tried just about every airline there is to offer in and out of Israel, El Al is my go to every time now.
@stephenunterberg3222 how many years have you been working for El-AL ?
Free Palestine my man alright
Josh, you give me an opportunity to see things that I have not and probably never will experience. You also show respect to the different people and their culture. As Arvazir said below: " I am 100% sure you have fantastic parents/family." Amen. Thank you for sharing these experiences with people like me. Please continue to do this.
Such beautiful crew. It felt like you were in someone’s home rather than on a plane. What great hospitality
Very interesting choice of words...
@@Fyrlss why?
That’s fucking strange 😂
Lol, yeah until you say you are Palestinian and get on the ground.
@@erikalulea3608 The way things are going in Sweden these days you'd soon need similar security measures.
Moin! Very lovely and classy flight attendant there! 😍Really can understand why you have enjoyed the flight. Cheers & keep up the good work! 👍
This airline is without a doubt the safest in the world. I hope one day I will visit this amazing nation. Humble respect from France EL AL 👏
I was an IT guy for Pan Am Airways back in the late 70s and early 80s. Your comment really brought back memories for me. There really is nothing like the camaraderie that one develops with your co-workers in the airline industry.
True! Share some Pan Am stories when you come to Dubai!
An ELAL 707 was hijacked sometime in the late 1960's and the Capt decided to do a part barrel roll by tipping the plane sharply to one side thereby throwing the hijacker(s) off balance and being overpowered by the passengers.
damn, no wonder why israelis are called brave
@@gamingking1314 These Israeli occupiers, child killers, are the cowardest people around the world, and this has many evidences, and the liberation of Palestine is inevitably coming 🇸🇦🇵🇸
really, the only thing I can find was a stunt where they rolled a 707 on purpose
It was in 1970 , EL AL flight 219 from TLV to NY. The pilot name is Uri Bar-Lev an IAF combat pilot. He made a nose dive (negative G) just before synchronizing he action with the onboard security. The outcome: one down and one apprehended Terrorists.
@@gitzn7072 thanks, by one down you mean killed?
As an ex flight attendant the FA on this flight was amazing! She’s very warm lovely. Impeccable on board service 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Josh!! I saw your vlog for the first time... did really enjoyed. I fully support you for feelings regarding bridging the people and share happiness regardless of their believe, background or petty differences.... It's too much of haterade and egos... it's time to share love and peace.... I am from Pakistan and I live in Dubai with my family and frequently travel around the world... my experience with jews or Israelis is always "cool", they're nice, welcoming and just like us, it's media, the governments and politicians those who divide us otherwise we're all same humans. I might visit with my wife and kids to Israel and would love to see hospitality of our Israelis friends in coming days so that I can tell my friends and my countrymen that it's high time... let's sit together and enjoy this life...
Beautifully said :)
As a Muslim from Morocco I had no problem. I was there for a political tour. It's obvious why they need that much security. Beautiful and welcoming country.
You’re a munafiq. The J’s are Islam’s eternal enemies
Josh, as a Flight Attendant, I agree that aviation and travel are ingredients to peace among people. I've met so many from around the world and have learned we have more in common then political agendas...family,love,pain, joy,etc....we experience all of what life offers regardless of borders,creeds,religions, and politics...we are all human. As for El Al....they have never been on my mind as a choice of air travel but, they are now because of your honest video and stamp of approval. Someday, I look foward to visiting Israel and flying their flag carrier!
Well said brother.
To quote Mark Twain : " Travel is fatal for Prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome views of men ( and women) cannot acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth one’s whole lifetime"..
Since when is it a pick up or dating site..?
yeah ,.but Zionism was created 100 years ago and has no humanity ...
El AL is my favorite airline! I flew with them because I like they service and they serve delicious food in economy class. Security checks don't bother me at all because I know why Israel has to have to have them. They're the best in the world in how they can spot anything suspicious. Crew is always polite and friendly and very customer oriented.
Wonderful to see cabin crew that truly seem to enjoy their job and are such great ambassadors for their employer. No matter how disappointing the hard product may be, the crew can play a big part making up for that. A very happy video, made for a great start of my weekend….! Thank you Josh for the ever increasing quality of your video’s, let’s go for 600.000 subscribers 🎉🙏🏼
The best job in the world 🌎 🙌 👏 👌 ❤️
She want to have sex with him on the ground but shy to say it😂
Great airline, safert can't be taken for granted, better not to take chances. The flight attendant is beautiful, radiating from her genuine hospitality. Awesome review!
She is the best flight crew man ! ❤ Great Job EL AL Hats Off ! Respects
Years ago when I was in the military a couple of us went to Norway to give instruction for the winter Olympics armed with a couple of large camera box's with inert items, the Capt came off to view them as the EL AL flight and their own security machines were next to us....as the box went through the couple watching the screen immediately stopped having seen something suspious tell you not one of the 6 security missed that item and it was small, would fly with them anytime
Your flight attendant is a stunner! Wow! What a lovely personality, well trained and genuinely wants to make your experience one to remember. If ever given the chance to go to Israel I'm most certainly booking with El Al. Great job Mr. Cahill!
As an Israeli, it’s not a good move. If you need to reach customer support El Al will make your life hell.
The flight attendant, she was very2 friendly
This was SO GOOD to watch! ❤️ The crew feed you like loving grandmothers - short of giving you pocket money! 😂 I look forward to my experience on the EL AL 😁
Best comment, thank you for the laugh. Made me think of my lovely grandmother, "eat eat Marko, you too skinny!", as she slipped me a note, even though I was well into my 30's 😆
My flights on El Al have been some of the finest I've EVER experienced. Top marks!!!11
So were all my trips flying EL AL. Is security nosy? That’s why EL AL is the safest airline.
Hi, Josh. Greetings and salutations from Clarksville, Tennessee Fort Campbell area. Nice indeed to see countries and cultures come together and creating understanding and respect. Looking forward to visiting Israel in the near future. Will fly El Al. I have Jewish roots and want to visit the Holy Land. Thank you. Shalom.🇺🇸❤
When I flew in the U.S. we could also carry guns and a lot of us do. It’s a post 9/11 thing. What infuriates me are the disgusting people who try to blind us with lasers. The FAA has at least taken measures to try and prosecute these losers to the fullest extent of the law. We spend a lot of time and sweat to become pilots and for someone to try and take our passion away and endanger passengers is just unconscionable.
How common is the lasering of pilots?
@@Son.of.Saturn Pretty common. The FAA a few years ago increased penalties, because it was simply happening too much.
@@nbntelevision1 Oh wow, didn't realize this. So it's the green lasers right? AFAIK the only laser that blinds you. But why tho?
Why on earth would guns be allowed on a plane??
@@potato1084 Post 9/11 response to hijacking in the U.S.. Its a federal programme.
The service was tremendous, looks like you were super looked after and the cabin crew's demeanour seemed very welcoming, certainly did a good job representing EL AL that's for sure.
Hey Josh. Big fan of your work. I loved this video, in particular because of the human charm of the crew looking after you. How lovely. You are right - aviation, like sport, brings people together. I wish I had made that connection sooner. Keep doing your stuff. Best wishes, Zac
We were travelling once with 3 kids (2 lap babies) and the flight attendant gave us a seat for one of the lap babies as well as a large water bottle (1 liter) to my wife who was nursing. Really family friendly airline.
Well yes they have to be. A lot of orthodox Jewish families with 5+ kids using the airline. If they’re rude to families they’re pushing away their biggest customers.
@@potato1084 Yes, you said it!
Thank you Josh for sharing your EL AL flight. Just shows - the goodwill you experienced I felt too in Cape Town SA ❣️
Wow very impressed with how amazing the crew were so attentive and helpful
Sometimes I feel that your experiences with the various airlines may not be what an average passenger would experience just because they know you are a reviewer, so they will go the extra mile to please you, but at least that is an indication that they care. By sharp contrast, when you have a bad experience on an airline even though they know you are a reviewer, then that is an indication that we should avoid that airline by all means necessary lol Excellent review, Josh. That was very entertaining to watch, especially that female flight attendant. I was very jealous :)
Fact is, I don't announce myself to the airlines. But yeah some figure it out somehow or crew happens to be subscribed to my channel, but even that case, kudos to the airline for doing their homework cuz some airlines, don't give a damn.
He’s definitely better than a certain other reviewer who definitely tells the airline he’s coming lmao
The minute the crew sees his cameras and the dialogue, they know it's a review and start acting better. Josh would have to go completely undercover with hidden camera, fake name and disguise to get an impartial review.
Indeed.. maybe his camera was toooooo stand out and that makes the crew realised🤭🤭
Let’s all start carrying an elegant camera that stands out, and we all will get extra hospitality. Hahahaha
The flight attendant alone was definitely worth the price
I Think She Fancied Josh ......
What was your favourite thing about him?
amazing hospitality, takes a lot of courage to be that kind and professional at her work. Kudos!
@@alanbrown8682 Her body language said fly me!
she's hot..
About 20 years ago, my mother flew El Al from London to Israel. She was a wine buyer at the time. She remembers that El Al had no trouble with her carrying her corkscrew onto the plane. When she flew from the states to London, TSA had confiscated it from her and sent it through baggage. She asked El Al's security person why it was allowed. She says they told her their security check showed her to be a wine buyer and that she had held that job since retiring from being a school teacher 12 years earlier. They did not think that a wine buyer carrying a corkscrew was anything that threatened security. So El Al might have the toughest security, but they are, also, realists.
I could not discern the name of the wine he had for his second glass inbound. My transcription service was unable to hear and, therefore, print out the name. Can someone help me with that? It sounded like it started with a 'B' sound....
@@davidbeckenbaugh9598 blood of Palestinian children perhaps?
@@revol148 I am not sure what a wine buyer has to do with medical procedures on Palestinian children..... Perhaps you could explain your comment.
@@davidbeckenbaugh9598 do you seriously not understand my comment? The juxtaposition of the name of wine with the letter B sound and me suggesting B stood for blood of Palestinian children?
@@revol148 'Bine'? What?
What wonderful crew ! Your hostess was absolutely first class. The food looked pretty spectacular as well. It’s nice to know that they feed you well- guess that’s a perk of first class. The passengers behind you were really trying to get on frame 😂. ❤
As Moroccan Muslim I am happy to see El Al and Royal Air Maroc establishing direct flight between Casablanca, Marrakech and Tel Aviv. My Moroccan Israeli brothers and sisters has the right to come to their roots in Morocco. By then we can rebuild the broken bridges!!!
I don’t know why Morrocco, UAE, Saudia and other countries were normalising anything. It’s all for economical benefit. The airlines and countries don’t care about people.
You sellout
Munafiq
Watching that El Al 787 taxing in while the national carrier of my kingdom gulf air at the gate is just an eye candy. The world is getting to be a better place indeed.
You're just another sellout
@@OP_Tempest here suck on this 🍼 till you fall asleep😂
The World...Oh, I don't even know now.
Yes! Proud to see GF!
My slightly older brother has been to Israel 3 times and believe it or not he told me that apart from visiting Masada the three flights going to the state was a lesson in kindness and hospitality that other airlines should take note of , and with the terror attacks that have been going on since Israel’s birth is a stark lesson that we all should take note on. 🇮🇱🙏🙏🙏. I just remembered that he told me that he did have a bad case of the Aztec two step not long after arriving in Israel and the kindness of the tour guides was another lesson that tour guides of different countries should take note of and act on, from checking up him while he was ill to making sure he kept hydrated and to keep at him fed even when food was the last thing on his mind
Free PALESTINE!!
I liked your trip to Israel I was surprised that you didn’t mention the desert on El Al also the quality of the entertainment All in All you where excellent Thanks
Josh, I think that is one of the nicest crews you've flown with. I'm impressed with their service!
Proper people working for a proper airline from a proper country 💁 As for the scum trying to bring the plane down, and it’s full of civilians ? Ooops I’ve already said it, scum.
😄😄😄😄😄
Qatar airways >>
I recommend flying on El Al every single time to Israel, extremely safe
he's not joking. I just flew last week. Its really really security tight. love it
The cabin crew were lovely and a credit to the airline. Wish all cabin crew were like this.
Very nice video. The crew of this flight were fantastic. No wonder the food offered was excellent, Israeli cuisine is one of the best in the world IMO (definitely my favourite). Top service flight, it looked worth the ticket price. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope I will have a chance to fly El Al at least once in my life.
your video just showed up in my feed. i’ve watched a few and am now subscribed to your channel. i really like your style and interactions with staff & crew. the air hostess on El Al is lovely ❤ her interactions with you is a selling point for the airline. thank you for the great travel coverage. plus, including history and political info makes your videos even more interesting.
I was really impressed with the friendliness of the cabin crew. These days, this is becoming rare. Congratulations to the wonderful crew on this flight!❤🎉
They knew that he was a reviewer, so better service.👍
@@abutalhasiddique6287 otherwise crappy service
@@abutalhasiddique6287 As an Israeli who fly in EL-AL and other companies(not in business or anything) this is false, the EL-AL crew handles the customer alot better then other companies(tho i didn't have any bad instances on any flight), i think the reason of it being is the Israeli mentality, were very talkative and friendly and outgoing so from a European or even American mentality it seems like you are trying hard to please and might even be bugging you, and also this job in Israeli is considered a dreamy job...(i mean who wouldn't want to fly all around the world site seeing and get good money for it?)
Interesting observation you made about the anti-missile measures installed on the plane. The need for this arose about 20 years ago, when a jetliner of another Israeli carrier (Arkia) was targeted by two SA7 Strela missiles while taking off from Mombasa, Kenya by Al Qaeda terrorists. Luckily the missiles missed their target, but since then the lesson was learned and the planes were armed with this system.
It probably adds to this the fact that with the new routes to Middle Eastern countries such as the UAE. Their routes will take them over places which literally want to genocide their entire people, countries whos leaders say as much on twitter in the open. Flying into the middle east for El Al is probably a huge security challenge in and of itself.
Hi Josh! Thank you for bringing the world to us! I greatly appreciate all of your work. I would love to fly on ELAL. What wonderful and sweet hospitality. The looked delicious. Yes, travel, music and good food can bring people together. Blessings to you. Stay Safe and Peaceful.
Imagine knowing that you have to protect yourselves from most people in the universe. That you can't really ignore anything regarding your safety 😢 i love you guys may hashem protect Israel
I’m a former El Al flight attendant and I truly appreciate all your kind words! I’m glad you emphasized the safety and security aspect which we’re proud of. Fly on El Al to/from New York or Newark and your experience will be very different. Hope you enjoyed my beautiful country!
I flew Newark too Tel Aviv economy with El Al, I ithink I was the only non Jew on the plane indeed all the others seemed too be ultra orthodox. I had at least a half hour chat with a very nice security lady before I boarded, I guess they didn't have much work that day apart froom talking to me. Luckily they let me on. Another tme I flew out I was sitting on an aisle seat with a nice young lady at the window seat. An ultra orthoodox man was placed between us. Ultra orthodox cannot sit next women who are not family, so he immediately got an upgade to business class. I would have swapped seats with him if he had asked. But I guess we all benefitted from the arrangement more leg space for all of us. Though I did think it was somewhat ungentlemanly of him not to ask for the flight upgrade to the young lady instead of himself.
what u mean fly on el ai to/from new york or newark D: thats where im gonna go for birthright D: i try to be on my best behavior :(
Josh, I am so very grateful to you for indirectly teaching me to respect the culture, standards, behavior and even tolerate misbehaviors at times. I am 100% sure you have fantastic parents/family. It would be an honor to have one like you in the friends circle. I was associated with aviation industry and had the honor of initiating new station for Ethiopian Airlines in Kisangani, Congo. But now back in my hometown Karachi, Pakistan running a business promotion Business Club. Hope to welcome you one day over here.
This was a fantastic vids to watch God bless every single person watching these wonderful videos
I love Israel but I would take this flight review with a pinch of salt. Mr. Cahill is treated the way we see has to do with the fact that they knew who he was. I would love to see flight reviews done in cognito and also more in economy class. We all know that business class gets special treatment and the vast majority of travelers who follow you fly economy like me. I love the way you present, and continue to follow you around. 🙂
I had such a good giggle in this video Josh!! That flight attendant was OUTSTANING!!!! I actually had tears in my eyes at the service you got in that flight. Israel can be very proud of their carrier. And the mother and daughter behind you!!
Bruh the flights attendent was a try hard ! She was treating other passengers the same way , it's all a marketing scheme !

P.S. I'm from the U.S.
I love El Al you feel really secure
Best airline in the world. Best crews, good planes and high security. I love El Al!
Absolutely love El Al
Great report! I was thoroughly interrogated by Israeli security upon departure from Ben Gurion and I was extremely pleased by it. I felt completely safe and secure. The interviewer asked me if I understood why they’re asking all of the questions they did and I said I did. By the way, I overheard the next traveler being interviewed and the questions were not the same as I was asked so it’s a true interrogation, not just someone reading the same questions over and over. I was very impressed.
Bootlicker. You will make this world a worse place with your attitude.
In my El Al interview (back in the 747 times) I was asked when I had arrived in Boston (our departure airport). I said I had flown in from Atlanta the day before, and spent the night in Boston. "Where in Boston did you stay?" they inquired. "An apartment very near here," I replied (it had been an Airbnb, although I failed to mention that.) "And whose apartment was it?" "Um. . .Tom's!" I answered, relieved that I was able to recall the Host's name, given how nervous I was by then. "And what was 'Tom's' *last* name?" they asked. "I don't know," I admitted, "but. . . I can look it up?!" "You spent the night at his apartment, yet you don't know *his last name* ??!!" 🥴🤔😬 I still laugh about that. What kind of tramp was I, anyway?! LOL 😂 Security *is* the name of the game on El Al!
And why do you think El Al has those heightened security measures in place???

I flew ElAl many times business class! Same service as he had! All is wonderful and lots of attention! I just wish they had some sort of eau de toilette in the restroom like Air France
Absolutely enjoyed every bit of this video. I truly felt sitting next to you and almost felt that service flowed through the video. Well done!
Oh wow I really hope El Al management see this video and honour that flight attendant with some kind of reward, she is simply fantastic! She clearly enjoys what she does. Both thumbs up!
India welcomes you....the sheer no of Indian customers will bring you to the top ❤❤❤
It was very interesting, well done
I really enjoyed your flight. I have always been curious about traveling to the Middle East, especially since I have a prosthetic leg. I have wanted to travel for years, but have always been tied down by various details of life. Your videos help to stem some of the wanderlust I fell.
Not having flown EL Al, I was very impressed and now look forward to flying with them!
The flight attendants know he's a KZhead personality and are giving him the red carpet treatment to impress his viewers. They're friendly but this is inauthentic.
I travel with EL AL and have the same experience like Josh. Crew really made the flight! Food is always great and crew is very friendly and engaging. I had special request during the flight and they went behind my expectations. One of the flight attendants told me (after I expressed my appreciation on great quantity of food) that 'Nobody on EL AL will go hungry, ever'. I asked for seconds and it was given to me...Just lovely.
I have never been on El Al, but I am Jewish, and I can confidently say that we don’t let our guests go hungry.

Awesome airline 👍🏼
Aviation brings everyone together. That was best part of the video. Great video Josh

Wow, it really was an amazing crew. I’ve been waiting a long time for you to check out ElAl as I’ve always thought that it’s a great airline. Thank you so much for your review!

@@plusultra7258 lol moderators so salty. Anytime someone starts saying the truth about Israel, comments vanish.
Ever since the new management took over ElAl customer service has improved massively.
Great video Josh, definitely on my list to try. Crew were amazing.
What a gorgeous flight attendant! Not being a reviewer I can say that ElAl service always has been great. The last time I flew into TLV I actually did so on Lufthansa, and there was a perceivable difference in the service attitude, even though that airline also has a high standard. As to the country, Israel always is a great destination. Having been through the 9/11 experience in NYC I appreciate ElAl's commitment to safety above everything very much.
The jews have the loveliest women of all.
possibly the combination of the German Lufthansa and Israel isn't the best
@@bennolerner For what (non-77 year old) reason...!?
@@hannoizitty some things take a long time to heal: look at the slavery debate.
@@bennolerner It depends, ”the healing” has been extremely fast regarding some parts of slavery. Like the part their own people in Africa played in it.
The service was amazing and the stwerdess, just the definition of international charm and sophistication from days gone by. Good to see that excellent standards still exist.
Flew on ElAl from FRA to TLV quite often and enjoyed it every time. Even the questionnaire seems quite unusual in the first place, the flight was nice and I loved the food. And another pro: When flying ElAl into Israel, the immigration contains less questions, as you had been checked prior to the flight already.
👍👍👍👍👍
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the flight attendant ply you with food and alcohol... That is what I call A+ service! I recently had a similar service on Emirates and receiving this kind of service truely creates a memorable experience and is what "customer delight" means.
One of the best videos I think you have posted, which included great detailed information about the airlines procedure's which are different to many others. Actually makes me want to fly El AL more. The cabin crew were fantastic and a credit to the Airline they made that flight all the better.
In the early 80s I worked for a tour operator in the UK. For certain destinations, we had to ask clients if they had an Israeli stamp in their passports. Many countries wouldn't let you visit if you'd been to Israel, even for a day. Not sure when (or if) that changed.

in the early nineties, I was "based" in Munich, Germany., and I travelled to Israel as I was been invited to work in a Kibbutz in Haifa, but prior that I've been to Egypt, Libya and Morocco, just prior my arriving in the Country. At the customs, they "kept" me for questioning, the reasons of me coming to those countries. I didn't appreciate the "approach" and kept my posture and said the least, only showed them the invitation and contact address of the person in charge of the Kibbutz in Haifa. They kept me for at least 4 hours at the Ben Gurion's Airport. By the way , I'am a Brazilian passport holder, and my experience in Israel was awesome, food people culture and everything..... "Todaraba" ( תודה רבה) for sharing it Cahill....
From my research I believe it would be easier to "blind the pilot with a lazer" by shining it into the cockpit and not the bottom of the fuselage from behind. Just an observation.
As a Persian I envy your meal 😊 hope you enjoyed your stay in Israel 🙏

Josh, this was a wonderful review and video! I loved your interaction with the crew and the incredible dining experience. I’m very happy you flew El Al and had a really good experience. Looking forward to your next one! 👍 🇮🇱 ✈️
Concerning the use of lasers in the Palestine area, it's important to prioritize safety as lasers can pose risks to all passengers on board, regardless of their background. Ensuring safety measures, as practiced by airlines like El Al, is crucial. History has shown the need to be cautious, but let's focus on promoting safety for everyone.
Same thing happened to me on an AirBerlin flight to Tel Aviv years ago.. I took the upgrade and they showered me with niceties. Not exclusive to EL AL, although I really like the airline and never had any bad experience with them. Cheers
I flew EL AL airline back in 1976 (yes I am that old). It was a very interesting experience. That was a time when highjacking planes was still a thing so I appreciated the extra security. At that time, the flight attendants were all male and we're military veterans. The only thing that I didn't like was the food. We were delayed on the tarmac at JFK for over 3 hours because something happening in Canada and they could not serve us anything except water until we were in the air. It does look like the food has improved. That was a different time (only 18 months after the Yom kippur war) but would I fly EL AL airline again? YES definitely!
My pops was an Air Martial on El-El in the 70's. They didn't fool around back then. Or today.
Well, given the circumstance that conscription is mandatory for all genders in Israel nowdays, you could argue that most attendants still have some military background.
They're still all exmilitarary just not all male.
Great Video, Great Crew - Aviation indeed brings people together! Regarding the laser attack on the plane, we once had a pilot who was seriously blinded for a couple of seconds when descending into Cairo airport. He passed on controls to the captain for the final approach just to be on the safe side. These lasers are nasty and a real hazard!
Excellent video- one day I hope to fly with this airline!
wow! i never knew that that this airline goes to a lot of security and even spends huge amounts on escorts on the ground! amazing!
Great video Josh! I have been asking for this review for quite some time. So glad you had a chance to experience the wonderful hospitality of El Al. Hope you had some time to explore Israel as well.
The most amazing crew I've ever see - כל הכבוד
Oh you’re so full of it
why, Such a short sentence turned you on?@waltera7248
As of October 9th 2023, the conflicts intensified between Israel and Hamas; we all know why extra security are needed for all Israeli planes. I am glad you had a safe flight as many flights are cancelled in or out of Israel for now.
The flight attendant is an absolute gem.
Another amazing video. I have travelled Economy with El Al to Israel but I’ll definitely be opting for Business Class next time. The cabin staff were superb and that meal looked the business!!
Absolutely. e.g., flying on ATR 72 between Invercargill and Christchurch 15 years ago which remains to be one of my most memorable flights as a passenger.
