Trip to Israel Oct 16-17

We left our house about 8:00 pm EDT on Oct 16 for an 11:00 pm EDT flight. We went through London on Oct 17 changing planes there. We landed at Ben Gurion about 11pm Israel Daylight Time (7 hours earlier than EDT) on Oct 17.

For the first time we used the Premium Economy seats. They are the middle seats in the image; regular economy are on the right and business class seating is on the left. British Air offered us a discount to upgrade to business class (which would have been about two and a half times the cost of regular economy with the discount) but we didn't take it.

Premium Economy costs about twice what regular economy costs but as we are getting older, the cramped feeling of regular economy is hard to take for long flights.

I have more to say about the various airports on the post describing the trip back.
