Roger / ALL: Thanks for the Air Canada note. If I wanted to travel to TLV (Tel Aviv) from BOS, is it more practical to transit through NY and then direct via EL AL or Canada? Is is 50/50? Not really worth it? I was wondering how good AC's service was to TLV? --- Mike Burris Cambridge, Mass >Air Canada Improves Schedule between Canada and Israel, Offers Daily >Flights on Codeshare Basis with El Al as well as Flights via Frankfurt with >Lufthansa > > MONTREAL, Sept. 27 /CNW/ - Air Canada today announced that it will offer >customers an improved flight schedule between Canada and Israel.
