FLYING TO ISRAEL EL AL 787-8 Premium Economy from London to Tel Aviv

Join me as I review El Al's Premium Economy on a redeye flight from London to Tel Aviv. Overall, a pretty rough experience. I wish the ground staff were friendlier because the flight itself was honestly fine, but looking back, this was a terrible experience. I get that security is a serious issue for El Al, I get it, it just wasn't much fun to be treated like a level 3 security threat throughout my entire journey. I had the crew keeping an eye on me, extra security at customs, and security at both airports. I almost missed the Tel Aviv to Athens flight because of all of the security. I had a 2-hour layover scheduled which I thought would be fine, but the lines moved so slowly and the staff had no interest in being productive or helping anyone out. When it was eventually my turn to have my bags and body searched I was yelled at for coming to the airport so close to my departure time, I didn't want to go through the headache of explaining my situation to another member of security so I just let it go. In all fairness, it's my fault for choosing to fly with El Al. I had no reason to be going to Israel, and that's part of the reason why they were on such high alert. If I could go back, I never would've flown with El Al. Yes, I was excited by the concept of being able to get an El Al 787 review on my channel, but at the end of the day, it wasn't worth the stress, anxiety, and time. Maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, and yes, this was brought on by me, but I have absolutely no interest in stepping onboard another El Al aircraft anytime soon. Thanks for watching, let me know what you think in the comments below!
