The day of the flight:
I checked out and my plane took off from CDG:
I arrived at 5:20 PM to Terminal 1 (The old Terminal, now It serves the low cost carries that operates in TLV like EasyJet, Wizz, Ryanair, UP, some flights of Pegasus, Arkia, Israir and the flight of Alitalia to Athens). The terminal building from outside:
The flight will depart on time:
The check-in process was really fast and took less than 2 minutes because another flight of EasyJet to LTN canceled and there were many desks to use.
Our flight info:
This is the duty-free area that has many shops, 1 cafe, and one snack bar. The area isn't big as terminal 3 but for is enough and better because it less crowded and I usually don't buy anything at TLV's duty-free:
The view of the waiting area:
You can see El Al's Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 777-200ER and Ryanair Boeing 737-800 on his way to FCO (Rome, Italy) behind them:

Boarding!
Inside the bus that will take us to the plane. There aren't airbridges in Terminal 1:
After short driving and waiting for about 10 minutes on the bus it was time to board this brand new A320 with sharklets. In my opinion the sharklets are more beautiful the old type of winglets of the A320.
I like boarding from a bus!

Over the Italian coast near Bari:
In this aircraft there were 3 lavatories but only 2 worked because the last used for the crew stuff. The lavatory in back was really small and uncomfortable:

It's time to take my suitcase and to catch the shuttle to the hotel!
Thanks for this FR.
Well for the same price you could have flown on an XL A330 but the potential delay must be not worth it.
Generally I prefer EZY over TO, mostly because their crew are more professional, on TO they are friendly but a bit too relaxed with French customers.
Were the plane models of good quality? I thought of buying them but they look like toys in the picture in the dutyfree magazine.
