CRAZY SECURITY ON EL AL - THE AIRLINE OF ISRAEL!

I hope you enjoyed the video - please follow me on www.instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates! See you over there :)

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."

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.

I am told every flight attendant and all pilots on Israel airlines are all certified military.

As an ex flight attendant the FA on this flight was amazing! She’s very warm lovely. Impeccable on board service 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

he's not joking. I just flew last week. Its really really security tight. love it

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.

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

That flight attendant had no ring on her left hand and I promise you she wasn't being nice to Josh on accident LOL 🥰

Moin! Very lovely and classy flight attendant there! 😍Really can understand why you have enjoyed the flight. Cheers & keep up the good work! 👍

I recommend flying on El Al every single time to Israel, extremely safe

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.

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.

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 airline in the world. Best crews, good planes and high security. I love El Al!

Wow very impressed with how amazing the crew were so attentive and helpful

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.🇺🇸❤

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!

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

She is the best flight crew man ! ❤ Great Job EL AL Hats Off ! Respects
