    5 Stars NaTBaG 2000 Has Arrived! Review with images 28/07/2002

    Advantages Advantages Safety, beautiful, spacious

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Parking is expensive, no train to Jerusalem - YET

    Isn't that a strange title? Well, not if you know that Israel's international airport in Tel Aviv, known as Ben Gurion International Airport has recently opened (almost five years behind schedule) what they call "NaTBaG 2000". The letters N T B G are actually the initials of the Hebrew "Namal Teufah Ben Gurion" – or in English, Ben Gurion Airport, and the 2000 was supposed to be the year that they opened up the brand new Terminal 3. Unfortunately, all sorts of bureaucracy got in the way, and NaTBaG 2000 only opened in November of 2004. So this old review is now being revised from top to bottom ... more

    Advantages Advantages Safe, Friendly People

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Nothing you wouldn't get in any other city

    I have been to Tel Aviv at least 10 times through a past job. Whilst the airport is a bit of a pain it is not as bad as you would think. The hype is over rated. Interrogations don't exist.

    Advantages Advantages High security levels

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long queues

    I have travelled to this airport more times than I am able to recall. Time after time I am impressed by the quality and levels of security. This is one airport where, although there are traumas in the country, I have no fear for my safety. Advice for Ben Gurion airport is 1) Be honest, tell the security officers the truth when they are questioning you 2) They are just doing their job and they do it exceptionally well 3) Its for your own safety that the interrogations may often seem agressive 4) Don't be afraid, unless you have something to hide because they will find out what it is. Israel is ... more
