Hello,
Some Wikimaniacs already landed in Israel, but most of you will be
flying in the next few days.
The travel agent who sold you the plane ticket must have told you
this, but let me re-iterate it, because it's very, very important:
When you go to Israel, arrive to the airport three and a half hours
before the departure! For example, if your flight departs at 22:00,
you must already be at the airport at 18:30. Yes, that is a lot of
time. It is needed because of security checks, although it doesn't
mean that you'll spend three hours in interrogations and X-rays -
you'll probably spend most of it reading or browsing the duty-free
store. Nevertheless, don't arrive late!
The same is true for the return flight: When you go from Israel back
home, arrive at the Ben-Gurion airport three and a half hours before
the departure.
Make sure you take a good book to spend the waiting time productively! :)
