Re: Best way to get Qantas status flying Melbourne - Tel Aviv and not fly for 30 hou
The accident in AMS was LY cargo plane IIRC.
I agree with your comments, nothing appealing about them apart from their safety record. I've been on LY in all classes and wasn't impressed by anything onboard, even their F class is an old 2-2-2 config!
I would not hesitate to pay extra and fly QF.
Nope, you'd have to rule out El Al too. In 1992, a 747F's engine came loose killing 43.
I've flown El Al twice (BKK-TLV and TLV-HGK) and won't be in a rush to fly them again. Old aircraft and less-than-friendly FAs. It was a relief to get onto a QF A380 at HKG...
*BTW I think El Al are perfectly safe.
