MBI Travel Day has begun and is so far going smoothly.
Everyone who was supposed to be picked up at the airport has already.
The entire American Group Flight checked in successfully and left to go through security along with their chaperone about 30 minutes ago. Their flight is still on schedule for a 12:30 departure.
The baggage x-ray machine Ben Gurion Airport security was using for the Canadian flight (they were in different lines) broke and so all passengers for that flight had to wait a bit for it to be fixed. Once that happened, they moved through the line and I have just heard that the last MBI-er on the flight was walking to security. Their chaperone is with them as well. The flight is also still marked as on schedule for a 12:50 departure.
Unless something happens, I will post again in a few hours when both flights will be in the air.
