Not true - there are some (like me) who can, IN NO WAY, sleep sitting up. In J, at least I get to lie down - even then I have to take a couple of sleeping pills - mild, over-the-counter ones work for me, as I never take them otherwise, so I have no built-up resistance to them. I do a long-haul...

Trentusjuventus - thank you so much for the GREAT trip report! Over the past decade, I've visited Israel four times and your experience, especially in dealing with Ben Gurion airport security, corresponds with mine and is spot-on! People complain sometimes about security levels and the delays...
