There's only space the first few days it opens up (which is like 11 months out) and then space usually opens within 1 week of your flight. Very hard to book this kinda trip with a normal amount of heads up. Either a year's heads up or last minute. (At least in J/F).

Biz
45k aeroplan (united flight)
25k BA BOS-DUB (subject to avail- currently none, plus positioning flights)

Close in is when availability opens up. Not so easy to find in advance.

Maybe not the perfect thread, but..

NYC-IST-TLV on Turkish vs NYC-GYD-TLV on Azerbaijan (both revenue),
Which one?

What fare class on TK? Would you earn miles anywhere?

Please don't just say Y or J? More specific please.

But I would go TK.

Centro · « **Reply #153 on:** April 12, 2015, 12:55:28 PM »

I should have been clearer with my question,
Both are Y, I'm asking which would be safer/more comfortable for me as a Jew (ok, I can tuck my peyis under my yarmulke

).

Why would you go with Turkish over Azerbaijan?

Your not leaving airport so I would say both are the same safe.

I would go with TK. Nice Y seat and GYD is out of the way I think.

BTW you didn't answer D93s question.
