Which Caribbean island is the easiest to get to from tlv.  I see many of the islands take two stops and a total of 20 plus hours.  Anyone fly to the caribbean from here and can give me a recommendation.
Probably SXM or AUA via AMS.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Slim to none, and slim is out of town. Unless you are without luggage on a full fare ticket, and even then it is questionable.

TLV made it on the list twice. :)

All it says is that there's plenty of demand for travel to TLV from LAX and ORD (which is why it's so mind boggling that neither UA nor AA picked up the ORD-TLV route ahead of LY).

Probably not what you meant by your question but Panama has tons of great and cheap one stops (via CDG, AMS, FRA, IST and all the connecting US cities) and tons of great Caribbean islands. Flights are also really cheap. We are thinking of meeting one of my kids there on the next school vacation and fares were cheaper than To the US. Also multi-city fares (to DEN from TLV and returning from PTY) were very cheap also.
