It all depends on where the gate is located. They can both be tight or fine. If the airline is selling it as a single ticket, you shouldn't be concerned. Also remember that they have more than one flight per day between IST and either JFK or TLV, so even if connection is missed (which I would say is unlikely if it's a single ticket), there's always another flight a few hours later.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

United often shows false negative for TK. Should be bookable by calling

As someone writing this post from Ashkelon, I must say that an article from ashqelon.net is probably the last source in the world I would've expected to see quoted on the forum!  :o

Flights to the US or TLV have extra security with pat-down etc at gate (you might want to be aware of this). It is a huge airport, and often you will need to walk quite a bit to/from gates, but 90 minutes should be sufficient for connection.
IME the stroller did not arrive in IST but was sent to the final destination .... and it was a real pain.. the wife was very pissed,  .... also its a very large airport lot of walking

I wonder how long until LY copies the concept.

Nice creativity on the concept. Though I think audio isn't clear enough.

Booked DW & Infant using AC miles on TK, myself using LM.

When trying to view booking online at THY.COM if I put the TK PNR of the AC booking, it comes up with some message, prepopulates the field with the eticket number, and then I'm able to see the booking (and presumably will be able to check-in online), though if I start off by entering the eticket number, it doesn't pull up.

However, I cannot seem to pull up the LM booking on THY.COM no matter what I try.

Any advice?

TK twitter team is useless.

I booked using Krisflyer and had the same issue.  Seems like you can only pull up on their website if it was booked with them,  I just called them to confirm that everything is ok.
For check in I was able to pull it up

Though AC booking seems to be an exception to that rule.

IINM old website you were able to pull up other bookings too. Unfortunately it seems like it was totally taken down (at least the section for managing booking).
