Why no white wine. Every time I travel on el al they only have red wine which is very annoying.
I missed my flight along with three travellers from America because EL Al made no effort to inform us that we had to do an extra security check. They claimed to have told us and even called our names at the airport and that it was written on the ticket. None of this is true on the second flight I took with them there were no announcements and no attempt was made to notify other passengers. They also lied to us about how to try to get a transfer with Iberia purely in order to get us away from their desk so they could pack uyp and run away. I will never fly El Al again. The people whoe work there are genuinely dishonest people.
