    Any views on this? I appreciate it will depend on which airline and where the flight is going Is any airline departing australia permitting OLCI yet? My research indicates JQ and VA don’t allow it to any international destination though I can’t confirm that

    Transiting Tel Aviv (TLV)

    I have a ticket to Europe via TLV with a 3 hour transit. Someone told me recently that TLV does not allow through-check of bags and forces you to collect and re-check, even if you have no interest in clearing immigration and are on a single ticket. Is that correct?
