Not sure this is the best thread for this question (better in ex-TLV?), but here goes:
I need to travel BOS - TLV for a meeting in late January.
I am going to see if I can get the trip paid for in J.
How lame is El Al's J on the 767? The "angled lie-flat" is ... not so bad? ... pathetic? ... worth flying through YYZ or IST if I can get a comparably priced flight?
Thanks.
I don't fly ELAL so I can't speak of them.
Both YYZ and IST are huge airports, so expect long walks between gates for your connections.
I'm unfamiliar with the AC J hard product, but the TK hard product isn't as good as the DL product (if you can get a comparable price connecting on DL via JFK, that would be my first choice, you might also like UA via connecting via EWR).
IMHO AC schedule on the North-America to TLV is convenient (arriving in the AM), but I would avoid it for the return (TLV-YYZ) as it is a daytime flight.
