Well, I was planning on cleaning my house today, but ended up doing accounting work whilst making the trip in the opposite direction to my global FS trip.

I know El Al operates the B767 on the Tel Aviv - Toronto route, but after suffering a horrible flight on a Qantas 767 recently, it's not exactly my favourite bird at the moment.

Operating the midnight flight across the pond, it was pretty interesting watching the sunrise over London, and then remaining in a sunrise for the remaining 6 or so hours until I reached the Montreal area.

Finally, after spotting the runway through the fog, I made my final approach, just as the cloud/fog began to clear.

And then, we pulled into Gate C31, ready for the next leg of the journey.
