EL AL B787 - Flying World's Most Secured Airline

- I flew on EL AL B787-9 Dreamliner Business Class from Hong Kong to Tel Aviv. This is a video review of EL AL B787 Business, Premium Economy and Economy Class products. The video shows behind the scenes on EL AL B787 operation from the cockpit and interview with cabin crew. EL AL B787 represents the Israeli airline's best long haul flying experience. All the food served on EL AL is Kosher.
EL AL is also well known as the most secure airline with additional security measures such as interview and baggage screening.
I flew to Tel Aviv in order to get on the last EL AL B747-400 to Rome and back. Don't forget to check out the last EL AL B747 videos:

Thanks to all of your support of the channel! This year I've flown 130 times, 300,000 miles and created 75 videos with 180 million views! None of this would be achieved without your support! We made it happen together!
This weekend I will share with you all the highlights and my top 5 flights this year. None of the top 5 flights can be bought by ticket or money. They are all exclusive contents made it because of your continuous viewing and support.
Sam Chui hi
You are running out of flights right now on earth ..its time to fly to the space 😜 sam😂😂
@@Pereragihan Aviation industry is full of surprise, never short of content to create! You will see new ideas and contents for 2020!
130 flights this year? Wow!
Me: 0 haha maybe one day
Amazing your all Videos. Go ahead.
The plane and crew is nice but Air Koryo remains at the top
That's true supreme leader air koryo is the greatest airliner in the world.
Of course. Skytrax rating is absolute bs
Hey fatso, I'm an American. Where's my Christmas gift?
Highest Incarnation of the Revolutionary Comradeship, you are so right. Kaplarrr!
I thought commies hate jews and love Palestinian “freedom fighters” aka terrorists
A huge thank you to El Al for the permissions to take that amazing footage! Awesome!
Two things one needs to consider when flying EL-AL.
1) The Pilots an almost certainly ex. Israeli Air Force, some highly trained tactical transport, most are figter pilots.
If there is an inflight emergency, who would you feel more comforatable with in the cockpit ?
2) EL-AL have the most stringent and prooven air port security procedures. Other airliners learn from Isreals practical experience.
EL-AL might be a bit more expensive some times, but it's well worth it to know you're in the best hands in the buisness.
I was always scared flying when I was younger but flying El Al put me at rest. The security measures, the actual aircrafts and finally having elite ex fighter pilots pilot your plane puts you at ease.
Most, if not all El Al pilots are all ex Military / Air Force pilots. This is also because their commercial planes are equipped with *missile defense systems* (flares, etc.) to protect its planes from SAMs / Surface to Air Missiles.
Do they equip with parachute as well?
So what is the system? Flare and chaff? Just curious. Or maybe that's classified info. Lol.
Why?
@@spindleblood their older planes use flares but the new ones have lasars
@@junruluo4821 Israel has some "enemies" right now, and most of these enemies are their neighbouring countries so..
El Al is the most protected airline in the world. Back in the day I worked at LAX for a cargo airline and El Al’s cargo aircraft was parked near by always with 2 plain clothes guards with what appeared to be Uzy guns under their coats. Don’t mess with El Al!
Indeed, I would have Zero fears flying El Al. Even before you step into the airport, you are being watched and profiled like a hawk! The checked baggage goes through an amazing scrutiny!!!
love EL AL and Israel ... greetings from Greece
Love Greece, easily our closest ally ❤️😀
Sam got access to an El Al cockpit? Dafuq 😮
Ikr😂😂
I got too because of my bar mitzvah
So did I but I'm israeli so...
El Al screens passengers pretty thoroughly so a member of the press like Sam was probably considered a PR opportunity and not a risk, I don't know if it was arranged beforehand or invited but I don't see anything odd.
@Abdul Mtoro III 😄😄
After 6 hours sleep, Sam looks like a Dreamliner 😂
He looks like a dreamliner since he was born (sorry, sam)
Hahaha
truuue
We appreciate the positive tone of your review. The "we" is not because I work for ELAL (I do not) but I am an Israeli we are all proud of almost everything we do but are extremely self-critical as well. As soon as we board an ELAL plane, we are at home.
Wish us whites were allowed to be proud of our culture again, lol.
How secured EL AL is:
All the pilots were experienced at the Air Force, theres at least one armed security guard undercover in each flight, and the planes are equiped with anti-missile defense system.
What is sad because Israel is a terroristic country
Experts Bombing civilians...
thats sounds insecure not secured.....................
@@metalgearsolidsnake6978 why
@@ok-zh8pw well you have to have guards and who knows what on the plane, i would not want that with me, who knows what might happen.
I’m actually surprised they let you film the cockpit just given the extra security for El Al flights.
They would only need to see a few of his videos to work out that he's an aviation celebrity and not a risk to them, to consider letting him onto the flight deck.
Perhaps just a camera left there. You don’t see Sam.
@@dash8brj Exactly. They use their brains, not hide behind rules
Rest assured that there several police ppl undercover for security.
Plus the pilots and others from the staff members are ex military soldiers who went through some of the hardest training in the military .
dash8brj y
They definitely take security seriously. I flew El AL in 2006 and I can tell you that they don't mess around.
I didn't fly El Al but went to Ben Gurion Airport to catch a flight out of Israel. Security was so strict that the security people literally rummaged their hands through my luggage (no item of clothing was exempt), interviewed me & asked what was I doing travelling with a group of people (I was with a tour group).
This was the early 1990's & never had experienced airport security this thorough until after 9/11/2001.
well they should do it to all airlines
@@noodlegamer7401 no..
@@noodlegamer7401 the extra security is very expensive and therefore it doesn't make sense for low risk countries to pay for it.
The extra security on El Al is paid for by the Israeli government
@אביהו מה המצב
Finally!! A proper review of El Al on CZcams! I've been waiting for this since ages.
As a Jew who flies El Al relatively frequently between Tel Aviv and the US, I get to experience a similar length flight every time. I am, however, not able to be in business class, so that was interesting to see, and I also understand and am part of the Jewish culture, so it was fascinating to see everything from an outsider's perspective. Thank you so much for this video, will definitely be saving it
It must be nervewracking for Israeli Jews,being surrounded by countries that hate you.But,then,everyone hates we Americans as well.
I think it's lovely that there is a prayer at the entrance of the plane. God should always be first ❤️ Joanne from Singapore 😊
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
@@kevincarlson7148 ignorant comment.
@@mblackops2 yes get rid of Hamas and it will be free.
Sam it's great to see your diverse coverage of cultures and traditional values. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
El Al is the best and excellent.every time i take vacation to Philippines
Only El Al arilines.i feel 100% secure,safe and most of all.the crew,stewardess they are so amazing.serve excellent to the passengers.i love El Al im so proud of you.😘😘😘
😻😻😻
Yes heard about how secure El Al since many years ago...amazing wines as well! 🙏👍
EL AL has improved so much in recent years. There is nothing like fair competition to make things better. The crews are so much more friendly now. Well done to EL AL. Kol HaKavod!
So you've flown both Iran Air and El Al. That's a rare distinction to have 😅
It certainly is! As long as he doesn't have a stamp in his passport upon entering Israel, he shouldn't have a problem going to some of those other countries. But Israeli passport control know about this problem, so stamp a separate piece of paper when you enter Israel.
@@lapamful they dont stamp you show your passport to a laser scanner and then it prints an entrance ticket
What's the problem
Why do i hear Eldow whenever sam says El Al. Is it me or someone else felt the same??
Ibrahim Ahmed finally
Yep, he is not pronouncing it right lol
His English is awful!
The flight path reflects the diplomatic relationship that Israel have.
El Al airlines is not the only one that flies that air route. Perplexed at your statement perhaps you’re just ignorant of the fact?
@@willwarden1631 were you dropped on the head as a toddler or is this just how you are?
@@willwarden1631 its unbelievable how you missed to comprehend the statement above.
Sidrah over display? it's really difficult to survive when your neighbors want to kill you 24 hours a day, seven days per week.
EverestYourself hahahahaha
With my 20 years + ( on and off ) of flying with EL-AL , one thing I CAN say without fear of contradiction , is that the attitude from the cabin crew has changed dramatically for the better , maybe it's because air travellers have more choice ( sometimes I fly Easyjet to England) , but the whole set up is light years better than it was even 10 years ago .
Is it el-Al or אל-על
Great video, as always, Sam. Love your videos. Always keep an eye out for them. That retro EL AL livery on their 787-9 looks very nice!! And a very nice cockpit landing!! Wicked sir!!
Awesome El Al video review 👍
One of my favorites you've made with the awesome pilot view flying over tel aviv and additional day to night montage.
Great video as always, Sam. I enjoy how you share the stories from the crew members as well as the in flight amenities. I am happy to see new flight videos. I hope we have the worst of the pandemic behind us. Happy Landings!
Did you see how cut that steward's arm was? Betcha lunch he's also trained in hand to hand combat in close confined environments.
Absolutely correct friend..noticed how fit he was..all these men and women have had military service...the best...you can't mess with them..
All flight attendants are trained in combat these days. Is he military? Probably tho.
Yes. The staff are all trained in hand-to-hand combat.
@@ntmn8444 Every citizen is conscripted so yes
I love how they let you in the cockpit while flying. Awesome videos and keep up the great work
Nobody:
Sam: Tel Aii
I was wondering about that. I was like, why is he saying it like that??🤔
I’m so excited that you did this video! I love watching your videos so much. They’re educational and just great. The female flight attendant and I have so much in common. We both left accounting for flying!!! There’s truly nothing like it ✈️
Airport security at Ben-Gurion is super tight and not everyone is allowed to use the airport, sometimes you are checked even before you see the terminal building.
I always felt safe that some nut job wasn’t going to cause any problems on any flights leaving TLV.
awesome EL AL review thanks sam!
Loved the video, the background music, the infectious charm and enthusiasm of the airline staff & THE FOOD PRESENTATION!!! Lovely.... all very lovely. Good work, Sam Chui.
Knowing how secure El Al flights and aircrafts are its really a privilege you could meet the pilots inside the cockpit and film. One of the best airlines in the world!🔝💯
I love how you give the behind the scenes view and experience
Wow what a great video, such warm and amazing people.
Flight attendant (the one who talked about her kids and her life-changing decision) was so lively and happy :) Great video
I like happy people
im an israeli who follows you for about 5 years now.. ive been waiting for this moment for so long!! im so happy that you enjoyed this flight!
3:22 Note the countries the flight cannot fly over.
Politics and crisis, right?
Cisman Cali Gulf countries don’t allow them because of the Palestine Israeli conflict
@@hamadalmaadeed2299 No, it's because of their relations with Israel. It has nothing to do with the Palestinans
I think the root cause is the Israeli Occupation.
@Hanoch Bieber
"No!!!" ain't a proof.
Another beautiful production Sam. Your report has persuaded me to try El-Al in 2020 when I embark on an around the world tour with many flights to many places. Thank you. Tim Edmunds.
How did that work out?
@@ntmn8444 not so well I guess
I loved the flight attendant's story. Admire her. There is a human story behind all the glamour and spark of an airline attendant.
I love this video, it's like traveling without leaving the PC. Thanks for doing this Sam! Love from Panamá.
Mostly when I fly business class I talk with the lounge staff but also with the cabin crew. It's always so nice to hear all the different stories!
My first experience flying El Al was in 1988, when I was 10. Miami to Montreal to Tel Aviv. Fantastic. That was also my first flight on a 747z I flew them again in 2001 New York to Tel Aviv on a 767. Loved the flights and the service. I love Israel and hope to travel there again soon.
The review and music goes well Sam. Gonna try El Al Airlines soon!! Keep doing a great job. No one compares to your vlog!!
I took El AL from Bombay to Tel Aviv in November 1995. I remember the month because Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated the day I left Jerusalem. Any way, I remember being interviewed by El Al security at the gate for several minutes. They asked me all kinds of questions, particularly where I had been for the past few months. I was in India from Indonesia and they were curious about my various destinations. It seemed annoying at first, but this is Israeli security at its best. Even an ant can't get through!
While the security is listening to your answers he's more interested in your body language. They read your body as if one is reading a book
El Al is my no. 1 favorite airline, hands down.
El Al is a great airline. Very good service, enthusiastic Crew members. Focus on Safety 👍
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the aircraft was painted in retro livery. They treated you like royalty on board that’s for sure.
No idea why they’re still living in 21 century ?!
I thought they were fewer who survived from Nazis 😂💩
@@FrankMattew Idiot.
The FO mentions this.. why would Sam have to mention it too.??. remember he sees the guts of the plane mainly.
It was mentioned
You ever stop to think that each time you land, the pilots are delicately maneuvering the plane into a controlled crash with the ground. Each impact has the potential to go many ways wrong. I consider pilots and crew the heroes who get us there safely!
Sam - as an avgeek it’s such a pleasure seeing your always positive vids and deep insight tours of the various flights/airports/special events etc. I know a lot of planning and hard work go into them and you’re not the average traveller by any means so we ordinary people won’t have the exact same extraordinary experience as you, however it’s truly inspiring and wonderful getting this unique look into the aviation industry.
You have the best job anyone could ever wish for. Merry Christmas!

Thanks Sam...another great flight with all areas access and it looked like a great flight. Well done as always mate !!
Very " educational" trip report..just superb cockpit action / scenes..and the retro livery..wow..! Thanks for sharing...!!!
such a beautiful and touching story from Eli.
I'm not scared of flying
I'm scared of the plane suddenly not flying
SkyFra amen!
lol
😂😂
You mean only if it's in the air......
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always love your videos!! Always fun to sit back and enjoy your adventures.
Your lucky. No one and I mean no one is ever allowed in the cockpit of an el al plane! Great stuff Sam!!
It really is. All the pilots are ex-airforce pilots, and every flight attendant is a trained soldier of the israeli army, and all of their planes have anti-missile defences installed
Looks like a great Airline! Food service and cabin looks great! Good job EL AL👍
Oh, food on El AL is phenomenal even in economy class. Very yummy and enough quantity.
Wow....thanks for uplaoding and featuring this flight of El Al, i will try this flight going to Israel next year. GOD bless El Al
I am thrilled watching ur videos. Really inspiring. Making me create my own version of my travels as well.
We always joke that EL AL stands for "Early Leave, Always Late". That being said, they are far more on-time now than they were 42 years ago on my first El Al flights.
I do appreciate the extra security of El Al. This is what real airline security should be like.
And still late. As an Israeli, I prefer to fly with other companies rather than El-Al. Unless I have no options..
EL AL is a word in Hebrew.
@@BigPeretz אל על is actually two words in Hebrew.
its, Every Landing Always Late:)
I think there are few more like Sri lankan Airlines Sign UL= Usually late and Pakistan international PIA= Please Inform Allha
The cockpit looks well organised compared to many other big birds. Boeing did a really great job. Yet again a beautiful review Sam.
Very sympathetic crew !! :) thanks Mr.Chui nice video as usual!👍
Kind attention, nice people, sophisticated food and wines, hope I can travel EL AL in the future, thanks for the video Sam!
Very nice review Sam Chui. Very safe airline and very friendly crew. Great job. 👍👍👍👍
Like so many words in Hebrew there is no direct English translation but El Al roughly translates to 'To the Skies' or 'To the Most High'. I'm so thrilled you've finally flown and reviewed LY! :) So thrilled you got to enjoy the final flight of that beautiful graceful bird, the only ever Queen of the skies - the mighty B747. So so sad to see them go but so many memories of flying on LY B742s and B744s. Yay! Good on you Sam, so happy you experienced the genuine Israeli and Jewish hospitality and hope you had a great time in Israel, one of many to come. I'm former QF crew and enjoy flying LY whenever I can and always when I head back to the 'Motherland'! Toda Raba and Chag Sameach (Thank you so much and Happy Holidays) Cheers :)
Because they deserve that.
Admon Soshetz this July I made Aliyah on El Al’s 747 “Haifa” it was retired a few days after that flight has already been scrapped.
Armon Soshetz. Shalom-Shalom.
Literally translated 'to-up', but a close translation I guess would be 'upwards'.
- Chag urim Sameach
That's extremely close to Arabic الي العلي Ela Al Ula, which means to the heights, Hebrew shares so much with Arabic language it's just amazing.
El Al's unspoken meaning is: "upward (spiritually)." Because Jerusalem is surrounded by 7 mountains, going to the Temple in Jerusalem required going "up." El Al takes you to ISRAEL (not just anyplace), "up" to the Holy Land, both physically and spiritually.
Just want to say thank you Sam I recently subscribed to keep up to date with all your videos I love flying just as much as you keep up the good work and hi from Australia.
Those were some amazing shots from the cockpit!!
Fascinating video Sam. To clarify what the cabin crew told you, the biblical phrase el-al, means “upward,” “heavenward,” “aloft” or, most fittingly, “skyward”. The phrase comes from Hosea 11:7, which reads: “And my people are in suspense about returning to me; and though they call them upwards [el-al], none at all will lift himself up.”
Viewing this CZcams for the first time. Knowing how secure El Al is , I am
surprised the pilot showed his detailed flight route let alone allowing the cockpit to be viewed.
Anyone can check flight routes for a flight. Also, he was given special permission - this probably took months of planning to organize. Not just “spontaneous”
Thanks Sam, this was a great video of a great airline and crew. What a beautiful city in Tel Aviv upon arrival.
Wow. I did not expect you to choose El Al at anytime. As an Israeli born and raised in another country I always wanted to flight El Al
Thank you very much Sam.
God bless you
We all would love to but when I can get a Flight from London to Tel Aviv at a fraction of EL AL flight cost im afraid EL AL is the loser.
9:10 Hard to imagine many other airline crew giving such a wonderful story
good video and experience about EL AL flight on board this B787 ..with a friendly crew ..i like :)
Loving the retro El Al livery!
This is awesome, especially the front cockpit view.
What a catch ! Thanks so much for this video ...El Al is a mythic Airline .

Old style livery el al jet make this video really great. Nostalgie. Just awesome.
Love the parts in your videos when you interview the Captain and First Officer. Always so interesting to see/hear them since most of us never do in person.
Looking forward welcoming back the El Al 787 to Amsterdam during the coming summer peak season.😎
Love it, thanks for keeping us informed with new experiences. Also can you do Latam
Thankyou sam for making my time pass during this quarantine !
Wow I’ve never even heard of them, they look amazing. Defently going to have to try them
But Im sure you have heard of the most popular book called The Bible. Well El Al and its crew are people of the Bible.
People are disliking this great video because of political reasons...
Yessss idk why
People are ridiculous.
No stop the blame game if you act lik sht you get sht i am happy that there is an airline that take people liike you so te he rest of the world dont have to see you eat kohser i like por
its stupid I agree but yeah cant really blame them either.
