It was possible on the old site?

P.S. it still gives the option to use the old site.

Maybe. I tried a few times and was never able to find that page.

I know other people that tried and couldn't find it either.

There was a pop-up on the main page that gave me the option to use the old site.

Not talking about the old site. Talking about selecting seats online.*

No. I'm sorry I misread your post, I thought you were insinuating it was possible on the old site.

1 - What do you guys think about booking a ticket to Israel through Turkey for August, in terms of security, feeling comfortable on the flights themselves, etc.?

2 - Is there Kosher food with a decent Hechsher on these flights?

Thanks.

1 - All kidding aside, I mean how is it flying on a plane full of our cousins, spending time in the airport with them, etc. - is it uncomfortable, nerve-wracking, etc.?

2 - So, no special Kosher on the Turkey to Israel leg? I assume it's not a big deal since it's a short flight.

I'm not so sure he's kidding..

1 -  It's a Matter of personal feeling, most of the folks around here don't seem to mind.  (myself included, I've flown TK, EY, RJ. doesn't bother me in the slightest.)

2- They definitely offer KSML ex-IST.
