They are correct. No kosher meals

They're not serving any meals at all so you can't really request a kosher version of nothing. But generally some of the snacks for purchase are hechshered.

Really good Borenstein meal from JFK-FCO on Alitalia! And really good meal on a 3 hr flight on Alitalia from FCO-TLV (the meal was from a caterer in Amsterdam)

Any information on the hechsher on the FCO-TLV flight?

Did you miss the memo that airlines are cheap.
You want good food? Bring it yourself and have them heat it up.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

With what is going on now in Turkey, why would you fly with them?
What do you do after your dreams come true?

What exactly is going on in Turkey? And in answer to your question, because I got tickets for around $700 RT.
