Nonstop Star Alliance Options

[SPGCont]

What are some of  the best options for a nonstop flight in BUSINESS or FIRST class on a Star Alliance carrier from LA to any European city and then on to TLV?

(Would like to avoid Germany, if possible)

2 Adults and one infant will be traveling.

Would appreciate any tips or suggestions!!

[YOSEF]

Only two options are ZRH and IST.

Anyone here ever flown Business or First on Turkish airways?

Are they good?

Is it safe for very Jewish looking people?

[PlatinumGuy]

Yes it is safe.
 

[SPGCont]

Yes it is safe.

Thank you for the info.

Can you please elaborate though?

Is it good service? Do they offer Kosher meals? Is it typically all Arabs on board?

[PlatinumGuy]

Every airline in * alliance (and other alliances) offers Kosher meals.

There's a thread about it call safe to stopover in turkey or s/t like that

I went through Istanbul 5 weeks ago and I'm going again tonight. I wore hat but I was with a yarmulka wearer. Seemed regular, although I'm not gonna put on tefilin there, but that's my personal comfort,
 the lounge there is beautiful, I think staying in the airport should be 100% OK.  kosher meals are the regular kosher meal as on every plane. I flew comfort class, but I believe their business class is amazing
