I boarded through door L2, where I was greeted by the inflight service manager. Since I was first onboard, I snapped some pictures of the business class cabin. While EL AL's 787s features gorgeous new business class seats, the 777 is outdated. Business class consists of a total of 35 seats, spread across five rows…

Lucky - you should know that they offered sparkling Rosé, not Rosé Champagne, you who is such a fan of the best champagne's 😉
I hope they do this consistently.
We all know that they were aware that you was a passenger, and even offered you a transfer to the airport on award ticket.
But people will read this and have expectations for the flight.
If they don't delivery the same experience, people could get upset with your review.
It's just my thought
FYI the wine was a viognier, not Sauvignon Blanc. It should be floral and crisp.
The few Viogniers I have had are not close in taste to a Sav Blanc, but if you liked it...who cares.
you said this is a review of "first class" where's the first class? looks like business
@ n - If you actually read the post, you'll find Lucky's full EL AL first class review. 🙂
Knowing they sent you a chauffeured car even though you weren't eligible for it does make this review a bit suspect as well. I have to wonder if things like the off-menu cake are offered for everyone else as well?
And while I'm glad you enjoyed the food, a bit of diversity in the menu would be an improvement, I think...then again, it isn't exactly that long of a flight.
look on the bright side. the review isn't completely useless. at least they were able to give him two decent flights, which shows that when faced with a celebrity appearance, they can actually pull their shit together and provide better than their usual holocaust-inspired service
alvin tse, there's nothing "first class" about it. it looks worse than BA's business class, and that's saying something.
Someone already mentioned that Shanti is probably Shani. "Shaid" is probably just Shai (unless the d at the end was simply a typo).
I'm pretty surprised about the liquor selection. 12 year Chivas, 10 year single malt, and Gordon's gin isn't really top shelf...
@schar sure EL AL serves the best desserts
@Alvin Tse the soft product is definitely first class rated but the hard product is just premium economy in SQ or CX
@lucky when are you going to do the new private suites in Emirates.. we will love to see those virtual windows... I bet it will be a more detailed report

@lucky when are you going to do the report on the new private suites in Emirates.. we will love to see those virtual windows and the Mercedes Benz sort of a cabin .. I bet it will be a more detailed report
Ben,
Where you mentioned the captains informed you the time you would land, it should be 8:25 PM, not AM.
I would rather have gorgeous male flight attendants. Israel has some of the best looking men in the world.
I stumbled across your review while doing a Google search for something completely unrelated. I was drawn in, and absolutely amazed at how thorough and honest it was. It was almost like being there! For those of us who will never have the opportunity to experience such luxury, we’d really like to know: just how much was that ticket?
