BH, never had to deal with these types of issues.
None of us should ever have to deal with such issues!
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2017/02/why-so-many-couples-fight-at-ikea.html?utm_content=socialchampH1b_ccD1Kg&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=socialchamp.io

We don't shop at IKEA. But if we did, we would not have this problem.  DW would go to the store and make all of the purchasing decisions by herself and upon arrival home would hand the purchases off to me to assemble - by myself.

amazing. Sounds like an airline pricing glitch that got out of hand but still got honored

"Maybe there is a market for 'Charedi Air' to be established." Lol
But seriously they should have turned around, landed & kicked them all off.

Here's what I find strange - clearly, they all found seats not next to women (or the flight would never have taken off). So why would that cause chaos at 30,000 feet?

There's certainly a market demand for airlines that fly direct to Israel to be accommodating of what chareidim want.  My understanding is the airlines just don't respect us, and figure we don't have a choice of who to fly anyway.

Or perhaps they're getting fed up with the way we're treating them. Why wasn't this happening 20-30 years ago ?

People respected other people's religion and opinions 20-30 years ago.  These days, if you have different opinions than someone, they'll boycott you or worse.

What do you expect the airline to do?
