B6 flies to SFO too.

Try and get a "Suite" seat if possible.
True but ewr works better than jfk.
I assume suite seats aren't the best when flying with wife and kid? Any experience to share?

I booked my parents on BA in business and apparently you need to pay for preassigned seats or wait for 24 hours before and get seats at checkin?!  Also, just realized the flight is Sunday morning that means check in won't happen till motzei shabbos so I checked to see the seats available and it's a 2-4-2 config with only 2 seats in the middle of the middle. 
Anyone know if more seats will open at check in or what you see is what you get and they are in for a doozy?

Posting the actual plane type of each carrier might help.

Thank you. Trying to piece together some flights to Israel for the summer. This would make a good option for the first part, but very few nonstop flights from Frankfurt..

TK is a great option to TLV, solid hard product and a great lounge in IST.

Thank you. Will probably go for that. DW wasn't too happy with traveling through Istanbul, even though we've done that before. (In economy, and long layover).

It'll be a little different in J with a layover in the lounge there
