New Arrival Procedures for Israel Starting April 01, 2009
Effective April 1, 2009, the Aviation Security Operations Center (ASOC) requires that each aircraft entering Israeli Airspace must identify themselves with a specialcode that is obtained by the captain of the flight.Once the landing permit is approved the pilot will be provided a permit number whichis to be used as the username and a password. The captain must use these to log intohttp://asoc.mot.gov.il/ to choose his special code. The code is the captains choice;please be careful it is a 6 character code that can be remembered.

If your dog's name is muhammad, you might want to change it.

If you are in Tel Aviv go have a drink at MASH.

Hey Easy, two of my friends had a tirp over there last month (March). PM me your questions and I'll see what intel they have for you.

Go float in the Dead sea while reading a newspaper, a cocktail in hand is really fun as well. PS--Women are amazing!!

Have a second passport....or ask them not to stamp your primary one. Just in case you ever go to any other Middle Eastern countries.

Thanks guys!

Be sure to go to Jerusulem, and Masada. We stayed on beach in Tel Aviv at the Renaissance and enjoyed the beach a lot. Head to North Seaport area for dinner as there are good places to eat there. We actually rented a car, but we are adventurous. Most people would take the traditional tours, which are good.

ahhhh the women. Man they are nothing like the New Yorkers. They are stunning.

I agree that the Renaissance is a good hotel. If you stay anywhere near there you HAVE to eat at this Italian restaraunt:

Its called Boccaccio and is at 106 ha-yarkon st. which is an easy walk from the Renaissance or Sheraton and is my second favorite Italian place in the world. You have to try the braised lamb. Wow.

The Tel-Aviv Brewhouse is also very good.

It's all about the food. Everything else is just fluff, really.....


Edit: .... and oh yeah, the women, damn....

Didn't take long for you to join the ranks of the bubbas amigo. Ten years and still haven't been.

 

[2000Easyguy]

Pretty straight forward. People have been friendly as well. Now, off to see those girls someone spoke of...
Thanks for the gouge!

Guess I shouldn't tell you I went twice on two different tours in one month.

 

[gutshotdraw]
