Flying From New York To Tel Aviv, Israel During COVID With Delta

A couple of minutes from aboard Delta 234, non-stop service from John F. Kennedy Airport in New York (KJFK) to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel (LLGB).

The flight was about 9.5 hours in duration which was a few hours shorter than the outbound leg due to the headwind blowing us eastwards across the pond.

As on the way out, the staff was making sure that passengers had their masks covering their mouths and noses unless "actively" eating or drinking."

Delta is one of the first (the first?) US carriers to re-introduce the service of alcoholic beverages on international long-haul flights. On the way out, the crew was enthusiastic to introduce me to a pretty good IPA. On the way back, I had to make do with Heineken :-( !

Jokes aside, this was honestly one of the most unpleasant long haul international flights I've ever been on. Non-stop screaming children, passengers that refused to comply with clear directions from cabin crew, etc. At one point, a cabin crew member had to threaten that Tel Aviv will "not be this flight's final destination" unless passengers began complying!

I would probably avoid flying this particular route again.

Equipment used on the route was the A339.
