I was worried  about something like that happening. Also after they canceled and stranded passengers, I am happy that I changed my sons ticket to Elal. Hopefully I will get some sort of refund.

I have tickets to fly through Turkish Airlines in November that I got through Priceline. Should I be worried?
Priceline said I should speak to Turkish Airlines and Turkish Airlines said I should speak to Priceline. Any suggestions?

Maybe try writing a email explaining the situation. Try and get a email address from someone higher up.

I also got tix through Orbitz for November. It's 3-4 months away. I wouldn't worry too much. I am considering a third party travel insurance that would cover most of the cost if I cancel for any reason, tho.

If u cancel for any reason ? Are u sure about that ? The insurances I've looked through are very specific about what they cover.

Quote from RoamRight via SquareMouth:

"What is Cancel For Any Reason?

Provides reimbursement for non-refundable trip payments and deposits if a trip is cancelled for any reason.
What am I covered for?

CANCEL FOR ANY REASON

Be advised that the Company requires You to purchase Cancel for any Reason coverage within 21 days of Your initial Trip deposit. If after 21 days from initial Trip deposit, this coverage is not available.

The Company will pay a benefit, up to the maximum shown on Your Confirmation of Benefits, if You are prevented from taking Your Trip for all reasons up to 48 hours prior to departure.

The Company will reimburse You for the following:
a) Non-refundable cancellation charges imposed by the Travel Suppliers.
b) Airfare cancellation charges for flights commencing within one week of the Land/Sea Arrangements.
c) If Your Travel Supplier cancels Your Trip, You are covered up to the cost of the ticket or the reissue fee charged by the airline for the tickets. You must have covered the entire cost of the Trip including the airfare.

In no event shall the amount reimbursed exceed the lesser of the amount You prepaid for the Trip or the maximum benefit shown on Your Confirmation of Benefits."

Has anyone used Turkish Air to get to Israel since this issue? I have a flight in a couple of weeks and I am thinking of switching it, but I have a pet flying in cargo, so my alternate options are limited.

The employee of the Eda Hacharedis, a trusted name with kosher consumers and based out of Jerusalem, was traveling back home to Israel last week when he was confronted about the war in Gaza.

A short while before his flight, a group of people congregated around him and began screaming curses and insults in Arabic, Israeli news websites reported.

A representative of Turkish Airlines, the carrier the Jewish man was flying with, saw the commotion and helped the man escape from the mob to a restricted area until boarding time.

@Channel2News reports 200 Turkish Airlines pilots are...wait for it...Iranian. Any of them fly to Israel? They carry Israelis either way.

Sigh. Would you not take a subway if the conductor was from Iran?
