Presuming you got the good seats, not the graveyard.
Which AA J seats are the graveyard?
On another note, I'm booked to fly in on AA, but flying back TLV-JFK AA isn't available, so I will likely take TK (and don't mind a long layover, as I might use that to visit the city). Which TK departure time is least crowded for the security lines (flying J with no checked luggage)?
