Exactly as you would expect from an Israeli airline (written by an Israeli) - basic service while firmly polite. Don't expect anything extra - they are there to manage the flight, not to make your experience optimal (unless you consider the minimum of getting to your final destination - and then it is great!). They won't give you anything extra, won't pass around water , if you want it - go get it from the back of the plane. They want you sleeping and seated - and while I'm sure that other airlines want the same, here this is well felt.
I was scammed. I never received flight. I had to buy another flight. Airfare assist is a scam and by you using them makes your company fraudulent. please give me refund
The food consist of one sandwich for a trip approximately 4 hours.
crownded flihgt, use the self check in and bag drop service it saves 80% of waiting time!
The crew were incredible, especially with how unruly many of the travelers were. Loved the pots and hummus and the food in general. The leg room in economy was plentiful, which was a very pleasant surprise!
Did not expect too much, but an initiative to serve a small water bottle without asking for it would be appreciated. A small snack pack would be very nice too. Coffe any one?. Yes - you'll get an over heated chicken sandwich as the on board meal. Sorry - nothing to write home about.
The crew was fantastic, and it was croweded but roomy enough. But the sandwich was horrible and no entertainment at all which is difficult in a flight of more than 4 hours.
We were 3 people together and they seated us apart. My wife and I were both in middle seats which were very tight
The seats in business class were the worse I have ever experienced.
Check-in was quick and boarded plane on time. Seats were comfortable, large screen entertainment, slept almost entire flight. Staff was pleasant. What is great about ELAL is their safety, and ability to take a large carrey on trolley and no one cares about size or weight. No one is taken out of line because of excess hand luggage like they do on Wiz or RYANAIR.
The food was great and the service and attitude was amazing!!
It was a great experience. The only thing I would have changed was that the bathrooms were never cleaned and they got very dirty.
Old airplanes small seats expensive tickets, not as expected overall and not comfortable according to the price
It was an OK flight with below mediocre service by their flight attendants
Wasted a lot of time trying to find the CDG lounge - it was not next to the connecting flight gate like the Air France staff said.
My experience was good overall, the quality of the food really decreased! There used to be a choice between meat and fish now it’s between chicken and pasta! In the choices of entertainment meditation has been added which is very good. Soft chair workout to improve blood circulation and avoid phlebitis should be added.
The only reason the overall rating wasn't "excellent" was due to problems in claiming luggage. The bags are delivered to the main area (Cinta 35) for domestic passengers, but to a DIFFERENT ROOM for international arrivees. After waiting 30 minutes, someone (who didn't appear to be from Air France or the airport) told us to go to another area. There we found our bags, which appeared to have been awaiting us for a while. We had to go through a bag check before leaving the airport. If we had been alerted to this possibility, or better yet, been to go directly to Cinta 34, we could have eliminated quite a bit of waiting.
Much better than the major US Carriers especially in Biz Class.
It was not Air France but Air Europa. But confusion over our checked luggage. Whether it was checked all the way to Tenerife or not. It was not. Had to line up again in Departures. At least our Sky Priority was honoured. Flight was fine.
My wife and I had a row to ourselves after moving seats. There were no TVs and you had to buy food. So we did nothing but had a quick nap. Flight was fine.
Have to offer water. Leg room and space is non existent
The seat was surprisingly comfortable and the crew was great.
The boarding was terrible. Confusing, long and with multiple checks.
One of our suitcases was missing at arrival. No news from the lost and found desk so far. As for 3 or 4 other passengers, they said it probably was missent at Orly airport. Hope it arrives. Not sure whether a compensation will occur if not found.

Bonjour, J'ai été très très fortement déçue et en colère par mon dernier vol avec Transavia. Voici ce qui s'est passé : J'avais acheté un billet avec 50 kg en soute (dont uniquement 36kg utilisés). Au moment du dépôt des valises en soute, l'hôtesse m'a demandé si je voulais également mettre mon bagage cabine en soute. J'ai dit que je préfère le garder avec moi. Arrivée à la porte d'embarquement, un responsable vérifie les dimensions du bagage cabine des passagers. Un tiers était non conforme à la réglementation (dimensions non conformes), dont moi. J'avais déjà voyagé plusieurs fois avec transavia sans jamais avoir de problème avec cette même valise en cabine, mais c'est la première fois que je suis confrontée à ce problème. La conséquence est de payer 60 €. Le nombre de passagers non conformes étant trop grand et les réclamations devant grandissantes, le responsable a détourné sciemment l'attention pour que des disaines de personnes traversent, pour n'en garder que 4-5, qui n'auront pas trop de voix et sont obligés de payer. Je ne remets pas en cause la réglementation. Mes reproches sont les suivants : 1- Pourquoi au moment de mettre le bagage en soute l'hôtesse n'a t-elle pas prévenu sur ce sujet ? Il aurait suffit d'une seule phrase. Tout ceci pour nous laisser arriver jusqu'à l'embarquement avec l'expérience que les bagages sont en général non conformes car vos dimensions sont ridiculement plus petites que la norme internationale, et nous mettre sous pression avant la fin de l'embarquement sans pouvoir parler à un responsable et n'avoir plus le choix que de payer. 2- l'attitude du responsable et sa methode corrompue de faire taire les réclamations en permettant à certains de passer 3- le fait que j'avais encore droit à 14kg en plus des 10kg de la valise cabine et j'ai du payer 60€ pour que finalement ma valise aille en soute. Tout ceci est une manière de soutirer de l'argement indignement, sous forme de réglementation. Je vous conseille d'assumer d'augmenter vos prix au lieu de les répercuter par des escroqueries pareils, au moins nous serions prévenus. Ceci est une honte et vous semblez en être fiers. Merci et bravo.
Les espacement entre les sièges sont moins confortables pour les personnes de grande taille
Being on time rather than almost 3 hours late would be a start, and also, since it was known from a long time ago that the flight would be late, letting us know ahead so we don’t stay in a small hall at the airport would have been nice
Transit through Cairo was abysmal and I will never repeat this journey !!!
Être avertie SMS/mail du retard/changements d'horaire avant les 5min du décollage initial..
This airline is known for shifting flights timetable, cancelling them altogether and overall you feel that you are in a charter flight (oh they do that too quite often). Rates aren't so cheap to make up for the overall experience so it is advised to mind the alternatives before booking.
The flight was cancelled. I'm still waiting for a refund from the agent from which I made the order on Kayak app
TERRIBLE. THE ONLINE CHECK-IN REQUIRED CHOOSING FROM A DROP-DOWN MENU THE AIRPORT OF DEPARTURE. PARIS WAS NOT A CHOICE AND COULD NOT BE ENTERED MANUALLY. THE WHEELCHAIR SERVICE RESPONSIBLE TO TAKE ME From My Arrival Delta three hours in advance refused to take me from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 without the Arkiya Boarding pass. I was helpless and missed the flight to TLV. I had to buy a separate ticket one way on Elal at 14:30 from Terminal 3 and PAY $715. ADDITIONAL MONEY. I DEMAND THAT ARKIYA REIMBURSE ME FOR THAT $715.00 DUE TO THEIR INOPERATIVE ONLINE CHECK IN THAT PREVENTED. ME FROM MAKING THE FLIGHT
Crew was super nice, boarding was fast (all trolleys were asked to be checked in), no entertainment at all, food - well, better if one brings ones own, and, surprisingly, they kept the schedule. This time around - 2 thumbs up.
I liked: Helpful, informative, pleasant crew. Could be Better: Check in. Stowage space General cleanliness especially toilets. Ugh!
It became a standard of this company to delay it's scheduled flights by hours! One to two days in advance, a notice of one hour delay is issued, then - at the airport, another 2 to 3 hours are occurring, at our outbound as well on our incoming flights. Be advised that this is to be expected. Furthermore - do not expect any transparency or explanation or just pure information from the company's reps on location, nor any other compensation or just a coupon for a snack or drink. It's probably just not part of the company's relation with it's clients.
