Sorry excuse for an airline.
That was my experience with them dating back to pre Dan's Deals days. (Back in the 90s the had some kind of an error fare where JFK-MAD-TLV was pricing in the low $400s if the TLV-MAD segment was booked in J. The flight experience TLV-MAD was terrible. Lights stayed on, no IFE, no snacks, flight attendants didn't show up when called. They did provide a hotel for overnight connection, but on the return TLV-MAD the check-in agents refused to issue J boarding passes and put anyone that had such a ticket in Y).
