Sabena offered the cheapest return flight to Tel Aviv from Lyon St Exupery.

The flight to Brussels was not bad, but the changeover took a long time (8 hours), and the aircraft that flew us from Brussels to Tel Aviv was falling to bits (especially the inside fittings). My whole row of seats was poorly anchored to the floor, and rocked both on take off and landing. I couldn't feel my backside at the end of the flight. The flight attendants were just not interested.

The passengers clapped with relief on landing at Ben Gurion, and it was indeed with the luck of God we arrived. Sabena should get it rid of its tatty Boeings.
