"what a rip-off"

(United States)

Wasted an extra $150 for a cramped aisle seat with a broken table. Extra legroom non existent. Shoved portable footrest out of the way in order to stretch my legs. Can't believe the window economy seat going to Israel offered identical level of comfort (!?) as the so-called "upgraded" seat. What a rip-off!

"What a waste of money"

(United States)

Paid extra $150 for El Al premium economy seat. What a waste of money! Cramped aisle seat. Limited seat recline and leg room. Pushed portable footrest aside so I could stretch my legs Broken table and broken entertainment equipment. No where to plug in phone or IPad so unable to pass time by playing my own preloaded movies and games. Dinner was rotten. Loved Israel but will not fly El Al again.

"one of the most uncomfortable flights"

(Australia)

One of the most uncomfortable flights of my life and I question whether El Al should be allowed to sell an Economy seat in this configuration. The seat in front was a Premium Economy seat. There was no division between the cabins and the space between my Economy seat and the Premium Economy seat in front was the standard space between two Economy rows. But the Premium Economy seat reclined an extra 30%. The passenger in front of me chose to exercise the full recline despite my vocal objections which resulted in a horribly cramped and unbearably uncomfortable flight. The crew were not really interested in my problem. Add to that a plane that needed cleaning properly (really how did the cleaning staff miss a large used paper cup in my seat pocket?) the life jacket under my seat was dangling down on the floor food quality was below average and you can understand why it will be a long time before I set foot on another El Al flight.
