Mar 19- We left for the airport at 10:30 for an 11:55 flight. Prior to checking in, all people must clear inspection and are asked a series of questions. Due to all the recent stamps in our passports, we were questioned for 45 minutes. When they finally asked what time our flight was, we said 11:55 but then looked at the monitor and saw that the flight was 11:15. As the current time was 11:25, we had missed our flight. The local tour operator must have had a typo on our information. Had we spent less time answering the same questions 5 times we probably would have made the flight. Oh well, we were able to get onto a flight an hour later to the other Tel Aviv airport and the ticket counter person personally called our local travel operator and arranged for transport from the other airport to our hotel in Jerusalem. What an experience. Answering the questions was worse than answering a deposition. The words are turned around and you have to constantly correct or re-answer the question to say what had been said the first time.
