Israir Airlines

JFK to Tel Aviv recently. It was one of the most uncomfortable flights I have ever taken. The plane was a Boeing 767 - kind of small for such a long trip. Israir tries to make up for this by packing in as many passengers as they possibly can. The rows were way too close together. I am not a tall person and I was completely squished. When the person in front of me reclined even a little bit the back of his seat was pressing against my knees. The staff tried to be nice but they were apparently finding it difficult because the passengers were so grumpy and uncomfortable. During my visit to Israel I also took a domestic Israir flight from Tel-Aviv to Eilat. No complaints about that one.

Flew with Israir to Thailand. The staff was nice but the seat rows are much too close to each other. It is extremely difficult for an elderly person to get up and stretch his legs on a long flight. The rows are so close to each other that tables in front of one could not unfold completely. We felt like matches in a box! I have flown many airlines and have never met this kind of discomfort before. Regretfully we shall try not to fly anymore with Israir unless this is changed.
