El Al is Israel's flag carrier. Flights don't operate on Shabbat or Jewish holidays, all meals are kosher (under rabbinate supervision), and the frequent-flyer programme is called Matmid.
The basic economy fare ("Lite") has no checked bag — check the fare type before you buy. Check-in at Ben Gurion opens three hours before, and the security interview takes time.
