1. worst directional signs
DC   (02.26.08)
The signs to the parking lots on the internal roads, and the directions near the elevators are a nightmare. That's what ruins it for me. Otherwise, it's fine.
2. Most expensive in the Middle East too

just in case you numb brain didn't register the recent news of 2008.....israel was inducted into the sphere of DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WITH A HUGE PROSPEROUS ECONOMY IN EXPORTS AND A LEADING TECHNOLOGICAL AND BRAIN POWER IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF MEDICINE, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, DEMOCRACY, LIFE STYLE, EXPORT AND TRADE. IT IS PART OF A CLASS OF COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THIRD WORLD ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!! i am sure you mean all other arab countries surrounding it are the third world, not israel, though! have you seen israel lately???? your jaw will drop to see it look exactly like a little new york. it is amazing what the jews with their brain power have been able to achieve in just 60 years! come visit and you'll see. it's a little america you numb skull. it's a society and an economy and a freedom that all arab countries surrounding it only dream about.

The arrival in those long corrridors and ramps make a unforgetable experience and a ecxellent introduction to Israel

9. BG is a great airport and El Al is a great airline....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (02.27.08)
Service, safety, comfort - all of it. Keep up the good work , Israel Airports Authority and El Al. Both have come light years over the last 2 decades I've been flying in and out of Israel.

11. nice terminal but alot of work to be done still
zionist forever   (02.26.08)
I wonder what rating it would get in the category of best control towers ? The terminal might look very nice, the general security might be pretty good but they have had a pretty bad take off and landing saftey record in recent years with the airport having more than its fair share of near misses. There is also alot more air trafic these days than there was when BGA was originaly built and the old terminal building is now an airforce base so we have millitary air traffic as well since the air force has been selling off their old bases which puts extra burden on the airport. If they want to invest in BGA then how about a second runway a new control tower ( not just new computers in the old one and better training for staff. A nice terminal building and good security to protect against terror doesnt make a good airport.
12. Best in M.E is HUGE definition
Mel   (02.27.08)
Safest. unlike the U.S mate. Unless only 'dyooty frrree' counts with you boychik... Viva BG
13. Its a great airport
Freejay3 ,   Israel   (02.27.08)
Very modern, easy to get in and out of and great security.....its better then Tullamarine in Melbourne, Australia where i came from.
14. #4, it is by far better than LAX, Atlanta, and Detroit, and
Antonio ,   Haifa   (02.26.08)
it is a bit faster and friendlier than the JFK. Also, the wireless internet is free to all, something most airports in the world don't have. If only they had laptop stations where you could plug in your laptop, I'd given them 5/5.

Colin ,   Jerusalem   (02.27.08)
Oh and BTW Ben Gurion airport has the best duty free selection I have ever seen including all the airports you mentioned.
16. #14 - Oh, the h_ll that is called JFK and Detroit Airports
Take me home ,   Israel   (02.27.08)

Jacob ,   Israel   (02.27.08)
I'd give you 5/5 too. Nice true comments.
