Best economy seat going to TLV...any thoughts?

[bj501]

I am trying to make the most out of a bad situation.

I am flying to TLV end of Feb and  Getting a biz seat will be out of my budget.

So if i can snag a premium eco or have to go with standard eco, I want
to know which airlines I should lean to.

Open to anything so would like opinions.

 Might be good for just a general topic here anyway

Interesting topic. But I wouldn't call it a bad situation.

Lots of us here still fly y, nothing to be ashamed of. (I'd call not being able to fly y a bad situation...)
Anyway, my advice is try and get big plane (747 etc) and hope for a couple empty seats. Your own row in y is just a cheaper lie-flat seat.
Also, if I am not going to enjoy the plane ride, I was always a fan of breaking it up with 23 hour layovers in random place. Europe is full of awesome places to layover

IMHO Air France Y seats are among the best.

reminds me of a story, a good friend of my fathers who travels a lot was sitting in economy and a friend of his was who was on the flight came over to him and asked  "reb yankel* what are you doing in economy with a straight face he answered you mean to tell me there is something cheaper?!?"

No, but I don't know if other airlines are better for that leg.

I should have been a bit more humble. I have flown eco forever but over the
past few years my back has been acting up and the typical eco seats are killing
me by the end of 10 hours on board.

so turkish seems to be the consensus at this point. should i be concerned at all about
being a yid and being in turkey for any length of time.will keep checking in as
the days go by.

seat guru reviews of the turkish 777 eco is pretty miserable on knee room.
has anyone recently flown them eco to tlv in the 777 and can review?

If you're worried about knee room just splurge for United economy plus.

i dont see eco plus as an option on united site. only eco or biz.

you will have the option once you get your ECO seat to upgrade

[bj501]

do i have to pay before i see the upgrade option, and how much would that
typically run
