Flying Turkish to TLV
« on: October 21, 2018, 11:10:08 AM »
I am looking at tix for Jan to TLV with Turkish. What's it like davening on these flights? Do people take "precautions" not to look overtly Jewish?

Please share your experiences.

Thank you!

I showed up to the airport in JFK and it was a black and white, hatted, minyan factory the whole way to Israel. (It was yeshiva start time). One guy I met had on a cap, tshirt, and sweatpants and he was embarrassed his mother didn't let him fly in black and white because everyone else was.

Though there is rumors a mekubl said you shouldn't fly Turkish recently. He said you'll see why.
I'm not who you think I am.

Someone posted here a month or two ago, it was Rav Pinto if I'm not mistaken.

We used to have plenty, now not so much. But still yes. More complicated than just "yes", but that'll do for now.
