Thank you!
I never heard of Biala Rebbe and Taman.
Will try to find out.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

There are a number of reviews out there -- just Google it.  8)

Maybe you can squeeze into Premium Economy for a more reasonable price?  I also think I read somewhere that an upgrade at the airport during check-in can be had for much, much less, something like $500 give or take $100-200.

I flew it in Y and it was really nice and new and somehow fairly spacious. The entire PE cabin was empty and looked very decent.
2 suitcases free and the third for $60 is a really good deal.
 I think they offered upgrades at check in for $600.

Did you try the simplest task of checking the airlines's website directly?

Thanks.
I can't find anything on Taman Hechsher, though.
They have a website something like taman.co.il they are under the rabanut.
Quote from the certificate in the ksml "All products and ingredients brought into the plant were supervised by the local rabbinate in the production zone"

I upgraded to VIP Club (F? J?) for $600 and had great experience. Was mostly empty. PE had only one seat taken. Bed was very comfortable. Amenity kit and pjs are high quality. I did find the fa's to be a bit snooty but that could just be me. Overall would recommend.

We booked tickets JFK-GYD-TLV for August and may need to change the dates.
Does anyone know their policy regarding this? (Can't get through to customer service. Just rings and rings.)

Was that $600 for just one segment, or for more than one segment? How's the GYD-TLV segment?

I'm debating whether to purchase a J fare on a different airline, or buy Y on Azerbaijan and pay to be upgraded. Which other airlines will upgrade for a similar fee at airport on on-board?
