Went to Israel last yr via El Al..great airline..15 hour flight(Which I was not a fan of but what can ya do) but its bar none the safest airline I have EVER been on..you should see the security involved before you board and you get a police escort to the plane..that is why El Al is the only way we would ever fly to Israel..some like other airlines to Israel because its less expensive(And you make a stop in New York to refuel) but I like a straight flight, no stops, much easier and safer
And they hire only former IDF folks if I am not mistaken to work for that company.
