The heavy congestion at Ben Gurion Airport and many other airports around the world has become part of the process of flying abroad, but there are also some ways to shorten the queues, move them in seating and perhaps even avoid them altogether.
Shortened queues - how?
Those flying from Ben Gurion Airport with a small suitcase taken to the plane, can check in in advance and go through short queues at the W crossing in Terminal 3 or in CD complexes in Terminal 1. To enjoy the shortened queues, it is necessary to check in in advance online.

Passengers on flights to certain EL AL destinations can enjoy this service even if they are flying with a suitcase.
To enjoy the service, it is necessary to arrive the day before at Terminal 1 and send the suitcase as part of the company's "pre-flight" program, one representative per family can send everyone's luggage and so basically, on the day of the flight you can go through the shortened queues.
One for everyone
It was recently decided at Ben Gurion Airport to allow one family member to stand in line for check-in for all members of the nuclear family, including grandparents.
How It Works?
After passing the security check, one family representative can stand in line for check-in with the passports of all his family members and so basically, they can sit in one of the seats at Ben Gurion Airport, sit in one of the cafes or walk in the terminal, until the family representative finishes the check. There is no for them.
Exemption from queue
Those who hold an exemption certificate can present it upon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport to one of the employees at the place and thus actually request a shortening of the queue. Usually, those who are entitled to an exemption certificate are elderly and disabled. Try to find out from the intelligence or other employees, you deserve to go through an abbreviated queue.
